The story is set against the backdrop of the rugged Kentucky highlands, exploring themes of family feuds, illicit distilling, and the quest for redemption through the construction of a church. Central to the narrative are old Cap Lutts, a mountain man and moonshiner, and the complexities surrounding his family and their enemies, particularly the revenuer Peter Burton and the enigmatic Jutt Orlick. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the majestic Kentucky landscape, emphasizing the clash of its beauty with the violent feuds that plague the characters. Cap Lutts, a towering figure both physically and morally, is preparing to dedicate a new church that symbolizes hope and a new beginning for his community, despite the looming threat of government agents and rival factions. The opening suggests a turbulent world where Cap Lutts seeks to forge a peaceful legacy, while also hinting at the personal and external conflicts that will inevitably arise as tensions build within the community and with the authorities above.
