After failing to drink his life away in Mexico, Roger Devereux has been forced to return to Birmingham, Alabama. He finds the shattered life he left behind has been put back together from the pieces that were left over. Roger tries to make peace with his new situation, and sets about ignoring everyone and everything except for the next bottle of Knob Creek. And then the perfect opportunity to get the old Roger back appears in the form of a beautiful doctor. Dr. Lana Fitzpatrick's sister Chloe is a known prostitute and drug addict, and now she's missing. After disappearing from a safe house operated by The Lighthouse, a Christian mission group dedicated to wiping out sex trafficking and helping prostitutes find a new life, Chloe is nowhere to be found. The police assume she's just returned to her old life, but Lana doesn't believe it, and she doesn't trust The Lighthouse when they tell her Chloe left of her own free will. Roger really isn't interested, but he knows the easiest way to get his friends off his back and himself back to drinking is to track down Lana's sister in whatever flop house she's landed in. But nothing is as simple as it seems in the Tragic City, and Roger soon finds himself neck deep in a world of seedy motels, soul scarred hookers, and brutal pimps.

Roger Devereux is angry. Angry at himself, angry at his ex-girlfriend Veronica, angry at the world. After stopping a mass shooting with a brutality that has the mayor of Birmingham looking for any excuse to prosecute him for his actions, Roger follows the advice of his lawyer and gets out of town. On a camping trip in the Sipsey Wilderness he meets a woman that rekindles something inside him that he thought was lost forever. But if Roger suffers from one curse, it's that the women who enter his life never seem to come out alive on the other side.
