Missouri Rhodes is a few beers into another starlit night of peaceful insomnia when a pair of headlights brings two Yankee federal agents to his front door. The agents, who are following several shadowy clues, hope Missouri will provide them with answers regarding Noah Moore, a missing doctor suspected in the disappearance of his girlfriend. After they leave without answers, Missouri trusts his gut feeling and escapes into the night in his old Plymouth Belvedere. As he is unwittingly thrown in the midst of a burgeoning gang war between rival empires, Missouri becomes entangled in the designs of world powers and terrifying nightmares all searching for Dr. Moore. Now as hit men, secret societies, and things that go bump in the night conspire to coax Missouri out of retirement and drive him back into a shady underworld, he must somehow piece together a complex puzzle that will hopefully lead him to the truth-and not the end of his life.
