When the law is corrupt, only a maverick can set it right.
In 1899 Arizona, Deputy Marshal Flynn Harper arrives in Holbrook to arrest a conman. But nothing adds up, and the trail leads straight to his own name. As lies close in, Flynn must choose between law and conscience in a land where justice hangs by a thread.
Not My Father's Son A dark country song by R.J. Sloane about breaking a cycle of violence and choosing to be something better than what raised you.
A man. A gun. A five-year-old watching. The fight to break a cycle isn't just about what you do — it's about who's watching you do it. One of the hardest songs in the catalog. One of the most necessary.
Inspired by Flynn Harper in The Maverick Marshal.
