Greenwood, South Carolina is a town where folks leave their doors unlocked, and everyone knows each other's business. But on May 7th, 2023, that small-town sense of security was shattered. A father of three, hiding out at his parents' house after a fatal hit-and-run. A man left for dead in the middle of the road. And a storm of jealousy, rage, and revenge that had been brewing for months.

At the center of it all was William Gray "Bud" Ackerman.
