Billy Bob struggles through years of childhood abuse until an unlikely wealthy family rescues him. There, he is adopted and nurtured by Mama Emmaline, a woman who survived incarceration at the infamous Walls Unit in Huntsville, Texas, in the 1920s for killing her psychologically and sexually abusive husband. When a tragic loss at 18 leaves him grief stricken, he meets Sirillio, a Lipan Apache known also as Lee. After serving a 20-year stint with the U.S. Army Rangers, they retire. Billy Bob takes charge of the family conglomerate with Lee as his right-hand man. Billy Bob finds himself in a mysterious romance with Grace Bishop, a recent divorcee, and together they discover the remains of an alien race and the treasures they left behind for all humanity.
