1861 Manatee, Florida. Cecil Fairburn's Arabian stallion attacks the blacksmith's son and entangles the Fairburns and Turners in bitter conflict for generations. Wealthy, educated and politically influential politicians, the Fairburns, who bred and raised horses in Philadelphia, also amass a cattle ranching fortune in the South. Handing down a legacy of revenge, the southern raised Turners, ruthless, poker playing, card sharks, want what the Fairburns have. Ginny, a Fairburn descendant, tormented by gut-wrenching dread, believes the Turners are still responsible decades later for her family's ongoing misfortunes. Abandoned by her husband and desired by Eddie Turner, Ginny's mother struggles to save her daughter from spiraling into the dark pit of insanity. As Lizzy sorts through the confounding medical arena of mental health ineptitude, she has to face some demons of her own. With relentless Cracker determination, she battles her family for a share of the Fairburn Ranch legacy while searching for answers to her daughter's life-threatening terrors. Surrounded by Florida's untamed flat-land hammocks and moldering swamps, whip cracking cow hunters will have you wondering, "What is real when The Truth Lies?"
