After receiving an invitation to her tenth high school reunion, Skye Clarke returns to West Texas, where cowboys, cattle barons, and oilmen rule..Upon arrival, in Midland, she reads a list of attendees and is surprised to see her BFF from high school Allie Martinez-Barnes is not attending. But Allie's husband, Rex, multi-millionaire heir to the Barnes oil and cattle fortune, is attending.

A million questions run through Skye's mind. Did Rex and Allie, the king and queen of everything high school divorce? Still, why would that keep Allie from attending?

Against her better judgment, and to find out why Allie is not attending the reunion, Skye meets Rex for a drink before the reunion. Over the course of the following year, she becomes embroiled in a complex network of romance, marriage, pregnancy, falsehoods, treachery, and homicide.

Drugged, kidnapped, and transported to an unfamiliar location, Skye finds herself held captive in a house with no means of escape. Her first thought is she must be dreaming, but soon realizes her new reality is not a dream. Entangled in a mystery, she surveys her surroundings, with no understanding of what has occurred. Skye is living a conscious nightmare.

She hears the familiar sounds of the oil rigs pumping in the distance, alerting her she is likely somewhere on the Barnes ranch. But where? Her only connection to the outside is the harvest-gold wall phone, which only receives calls. A phone that, when answered, has a voice on the other end that taunts her.

The Back Forty is a gripping tale infused with elements of romance, mystery, suspense, action, and drama, while casting shadows between good and evil. Embark on a thrilling adventure alongside the wealthy Barnes family from Midland, Texas, as they assert their power through their vast land, cattle, and oil resources, making them impervious to legal consequences.
