COUNTY ROAD 2400
One night of mailbox metal was supposed to be a reset. Instead, it became a life sentence.
Illinois, 1998. Tommy Cancio and Todd Wells are fueled by cheap beer, jagged lines of cocaine, and the midnight fog of Champaign County. The mission is simple: a high-speed pass and the satisfying ping of a baseball bat against a rural mailbox.
But when the bat hits something wet and heavy on County Road 2400, the music stops.
What follows is a desperate, mud-caked crawl into a different kind of darkness. From the suffocating rows of unharvested corn to a concrete hole beneath an abandoned Indiana burger stand, Tommy discovers that the Midwest doesn't just grow crops-it buries secrets.
Trapped with half a million dollars in drug money and a silent gentle giant for a jailer, Tommy must confront the ghosts of his past-and the very real predator coming to collect.
In the heart of the Heartland, the distance between a good time and a shallow grave is shorter than you think.
