Описание: Blood vendettas are messy as hell... In the winter of 1889, after years of incarceration, the tormented son of a Union organizer returns home to the Pennsylvania coal town where his father was murdered. Nineteen-years-old and looking for work as a blacksmith, Daniel Byrnes is soon employed by Jack Carver, his fathers killer. Aside from owning the Elsinore Coal Company, Carver is a ruthless lawman. Notorious and widely feared, most people know him simply as the sheriff. Corruption thrives in his cold Appalachian hills, where the only law is the law of the company.Despite being greatly outmatched, Daniel remains hell-bent on revenge. He enlists the help of Butch Blizzard, a one-eyed miner who worked with his father, and Michael McKeeta, a charismatic bachelor with a weakness for women of ill repute. The two of them help Daniel infiltrate Carvers seedy underworld of gambling and prostitution, and together they plan to end the sheriffs reign of terror. But this is easier said than done, especially since Daniel cant seem to stay sober for more than a few hours at a time. It gets worse when Carver offers him a lucrative position: he wants to hire Daniel to kill Union miners. When Daniel refuses, Carver makes it clear that this isnt an option, its an edict. Growing increasingly unstable, Daniel turns to the bottle for solace. Like Shakespeares Hamlet, obsessed with revenge, he spirals through rage, paranoia, mania, and hopelessness. He cant help but worry that he has more enemies than friends, suspecting that someone close to him is working as a labor spy for the company. But when Union miners start turning up dead, rumors circulate, and some of them even begin to wonder if its Daniel whos to blame. By the time a violent coal strike sweeps through the Monongahela Valley, bringing with it an army of Baldwin-Felts detective agents, Elsinore mine is like a powder keg ready to blow. Daniels personal vendetta adds fuel to the fire that erupts in a deadly battle between the Union miners and the company gun thugs. It all comes down to a simple choice: Daniel must decide how far hes willing to go to avenge his fathers blood. Is he ready to die for revenge?
