Flash Back to 1970: From New Orleans to Jacksonville to Atlanta, a menagerie of bikers, hippies, rednecks and Cajuns do business together…when they’re not trying to eliminate the competition. Enter adrenaline junkie Joe Wilson, a stock car driver very adept at outrunning the horrific war memories that pursue him. When bikers set up shop in his hometown, he pays them a visit to make sure they don’t pose a threat to his close-knit, working-class neighborhood. Instead, he discovers he has much in common with the volatile men. Fresh from Vietnam with specialized skills and demons of their own, they live by a harsh code, protecting their reputation, patch and brotherhood at all costs. After a party that goes terribly wrong, Joe takes a dark vengeful path. His only ally is an exotic dancer who packs tarot cards along with her Krieghoff Luger. But she belongs to someone else, a man who could become Joe’s best friend-- or worst enemy. As an expendable probate, he has to prove he’s worthy to ride with the Regents Motorcycle Club. Trouble follows Joe wherever he goes, and even among the hardcore bikers, he quickly establishes a reputation as “hard to kill.†But those old war ghosts do not want to get left behind, and threaten Joe’s existence more than any living rival…
