In a devious plot to paralyze America with billions in counterfeit dollars, Lucas Garrow and his Klan army strike at Harambee—a utopian mountain stronghold built on unity and hope. Their goal: the birth of a new Confederacy.
Though defeated, Garrow escapes, hunted by relentless pursuers: the Pinkertons, legendary lawman Bass Reeves, a schoolteacher with a deadly aim, and a towering Maasai warrior driven by vengeance.
Meanwhile, a fanatical underground colony led by the cultist Noah Armistead rises in the shadows. As Garrow and these forces converge, their paths collide in the unforgiving Ozark wilderness—an outlaw realm known as the Bastard Ground.
Can those who fought for a dream endure the racist world that awaits them? And after a forest fire reduces Harambee to ashes, will justice and lasting peace survive the flames? I guess one would have to find out.
