Rural Noir

When veterinarian Ethan Holt discovers a pattern of poisoned livestock across rural Appalachia—always on farms adjacent to valuable water rights, always followed by acquisition offers from the same development company—he uncovers something far darker: a land-grab scheme funded by opioid distribution profits that's consuming his community one farm at a time. As the corruption closes in on his own family's land, Ethan faces an impossible choice in a place where power belongs to those who can afford to buy it, where the law protects the system rather than the people, and where even the truth might not be enough to stop what's already in motion.
