Oliver Stone has become the most wanted man in America. The covert agent, whose real name is John Carr, possesses too many dangerous secrets about powerful men who now demand his death. Stone takes matters into his own hands, targeting those who wronged him in his former life. His actions force him to run, and he finds himself in Divine, Virginia, accompanied by a young companion named Danny Riker. The town harbors its own dark mysteries, criminal networks, and lethal threats. Meanwhile, Stone's allies in the secretive Camel Club refuse to abandon their leader. They risk everything to keep him alive, knowing that losing Stone means losing their friend and the glue that holds their group together. As Stone navigates the treacherous landscape of Divine, he must survive both the federal manhunt closing in on him and the local dangers that make this small Virginia town anything but peaceful.
