A dark and slower burn crime thriller set in the deep South. I loved the character of Titus who was complex and interesting. I particularly liked the moments with his dad and brother. I found the random love triangle to feel forced though and it didn't add much to the plot, so I could have done without that. 

The plot was harrowing. The crimes Titus is investigating are brutal, especially against the backdrop of racial tensions in a fictional small county in Virginia. The story had lots of tension with bursts of action. And, the narration was absolute perfection by Adam Lazarre-White. I felt like I was watching a movie!
