The story is set in the Appalachian region and follows the tumultuous relationship between Turner Stacy, nicknamed Bear Cat, and his father, Lone Stacy, who engages in illegal moonshining as a means of survival. The narrative intertwines themes of family loyalty, youthful rebellion, and the struggle against personal demons, particularly alcohol, as Turner seeks his place in a world that offers limited opportunities. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Stacy family, with Lone Stacy's stern demeanor contrasting sharply with the aspirations of his son, Turner. As he searches for his missing son, Lone expresses frustration with Turner’s reluctance to assist with their moonshining operation. We learn that Turner, though physically strong, wrestles with an inner conflict related to his identity and a burgeoning desire for a better life. The narrative draws readers into the harsh realities of mountain life, emphasizing the tension between family responsibilities and personal desires, setting the stage for the family's struggles against societal norms and interpersonal conflicts that loom ahead.
