Its the summer of 1945, and sixteenyearold ruffian Milo Egerson has been shipped from his Minneapolis home to his greatuncle Hams farm in rural northwestern Wisconsin. Though his mother puts on a smile and says itll do him good to be out in nature, they both know otherwise. Milos stepfather, the one who gave him that jagged scar, is set to be released from Stillwater Prison soon and has already promised to finish what he started. Hoping there are enough miles between the Twin Cities and dusty Milltown, Milo sets about trying to make the most of life without running water and electricity while trying to better understand his own place in the world and what it all means. His toughguy act softens as he blends into the community and befriends an endearing group of smalltown folks. And thats lucky for him, because to stay safe, hes going to need all the help he can get.
