A Morden Man/Byrd Man 1x1
Welcome to Pickett County, South Carolina. Situated in Upstate of South Carolina, Pickett is without a doubt the worst county in the state. Nearly all of its people are well below the poverty line, and all local industry left the county a decade earlier thanks to cheap overseas labor. With no jobs, the unemployment rate continuously hovers around 20%. Crime and vice have become Pickett's chief export. People from the state and nearby Georgia flock to the county to have a good time. The county seat, Pickett, is better known by its moniker of Saloon City. Drugs, gambling, violence, and prostitution all have become rampant in a county of only 25,000 people.
This backwoods cesspool is filled with crooked politicians, bent sheriff's deputies, meth tweakers, and peckerwood redneck drug dealers. On one side of the line is Billy Brown, the undisputed kingpin of Pickett. Anything that goes on in Pickett County does so with Billy's consent. On the other side is Sheriff Eugene Parker, a five-term sheriff who is a county institution. The only thing Gene Parker cares about more than getting reelected is destroying Billy and his fiefdom. For nearly twenty years a simmering hatred between the two men has been bubbling just beneath the surface. Now, a dead meth head threatens to tear the fragile peace asunder and plunge all of Pickett County into open warfare.
While those wallow in the mire, plenty seek to make their escape. Antwan Dixon, the biggest athletic prospect to come out of Pickett County in years, faces temptation from all quarters. As family and friends size him up as their lifelong meal ticket, Antwan comes to grips on what he is, his place in world, and what it takes to truly break free from the quicksand-like hold Pickett County as on all of its residents.
Welcome to Pickett County, son. Make sure you got your weapon and hold on tight.
