The main characters are flawed but compelling. Conor tells his backstory in flashbacks that are sometimes hard to read. Olivia is trying to maintain, alone, a property that beyond her abilities.
Conor and Olivia meet when Conor refuses to lose a prizefight in a small, Louisiana town. He is hideously beaten and left for dead on a lonely road. Olivia finds him and nurses him back to health. Olivia has been trying to find a handyman to work for room and board, without success.
At first, Olivia seems to be the rational one, of the pair. She works hard and is sure that something will come about so that she can keep her land (instead of land grabbers forcing her to sell). Before long, Conor's rational attitude that 'it's only land' and that Olivia can start again somewhere else, starts to make sense. The cost seems to be getting too high to keep fighting the land grabbers.
As the story continues, it gets more compelling. A unique story.
