Work Description
Blood’s thicker than water and that’s doubly true for the King family who has built its considerable fortune through decades of the most ruthless violence and bloodshed that Oklahoma has ever seen. Ike King taught his boys well, when you see something you want all you need is a clever mind, two fists and a helluva powerful hunk of metal. But Ike may have taught them too well. Now the King brothers are using their childhood lessons against their father and themselves. Arlie though he had won the battle when he murdered his brother, but then Crich shows up with a U.S. Marshal tight on his tail and complicates matters. This may just be the largest showcase of violence and greed that the dysfunctional King family has ever experienced.
