Summary
Barry Macklin, a roguishly charismatic drifter with a penchant for outrunning the law, careens back to the dust‑kissed streets of Hillsboro after a high‑octane chase with speed police. The town, a tableau of rusted storefronts and whispered grudges, awaits his uneasy mediation between his stern patriarch, Andrew Macklin, a former magnate whose empire has crumbled into bitterness, and the iron‑fisted mayor, Ezra Sprowl, whose ambitions threaten to raze the community’s soul. As Barry navigates the labyrinthine alleys of familial loyalty and civic ambition, he discovers that the true negotiation is not merely a contractual dispute but a battle for the town’s identity, with love, betrayal, and redemption interwoven like the tangled wires of the town’s fledgling power grid. The narrative unfurls through a series of smoky tavern confrontations, clandestine rendezvous, and a climactic showdown that forces each character to confront the ghosts of their past, culminating in a bittersweet resolution that redefines what it means to belong.
