There is a madman loose in Lincoln County and folks all along the Deep Fork River are on guard, not knowing where The Deep Fork Terror will strike next. The news trucks line the streets of Chandler, and the overly perky reporters are fighting the Oklahoma wind while preparing for the evening news. But fame is a fickle breeze, and soon the media will blow out of town just as the dust storms did in days gone by leaving only memories and a bad taste for the residents who remain behind. Harley Rodgers had been the good son, the good husband, and had tried to be the good father. Two out of three wasn't bad, he thought. A lonely widower and terminally ill, Harley sold the business that his grandfather, Harley Rodgers Sr., had started after World War II in the small town of Chandler, Oklahoma and planned to see a bit of the world before his death. That was Harley's plan. It was a good plan, but like so many plans, it was not meant to be. Harley's life becomes hopelessly entangled when Smart-Buy announces that they want to build a new Supershopper where his family's business, the business that he sold, has been located for sixty years. He finds himself pitted against the retail giant and the entire city council. Feeling that he has nothing to lose, Harley crosses the line from protester to vandal to something far more dangerous. His obsession unwittingly gives birth to the legend of The Deep Fork Terror. Unfortunately, Harley Rodgers has miscalculated. There is much more at stake than he realizes, and it centers on a free spirited, auburn haired set of curves called Grace.
