  Summary

  Wilder is living the average life for a 32 year old man in a small southern town. He's got a wife, two kids, and a ranch, with plenty of free time to focus on his creative callings. He should be satisfied with everything he has. But he isn't. And none of that is made easier when his childhood best friend who disappeared seven years ago returns to their hometown, forcing Wilder to make peace with his past and discover how to fix the problems preventing him from truly thriving.
