What do you do when everyone around you is keeping dark secrets and only you know the truth?

Discovering Big Joe dead is just the start of J. T.'s nightmare. Inside a pouch J. T. found in Big Joe's house are photos of the town's leading citizens caught in dirty deeds... perhaps they're the reason Big Joe wound up dead? When the Sheriff responding to the call shoots Big Joe's dogs, J. T. makes a snap decision that'll change everything.

Now on the run with his best friend Rache-the smartest, fastest, and cussingest girl in fifth grade-they find themselves fleeing the hometown they've always known on a canoe trip down the river.

But the bad guys will do anything to cover their tracks and save themselves...even if it means hunting down and killing a couple kids who know too much for their own good.

Can J. T. and Rache find someone to help them expose the crooked sheriff and corrupt elitists captured in the photos? As they search for help among the people living along the water's edge, how do they know who they can trust, and who has more sinister motives?
