Synopsis

War-on-terrorism veteran Jim “Bear” Kotah is war-weary and recovering from PTSD. He isolates himself from his Comanche family, their struggling buffalo ranch, and former girlfriend, Hunter O’Neil, until the mysterious death of cousin Danny Big Elk propels him back to southwest Oklahoma. There, he must confront a swirl of ranchland issues created by family nemesis, Ramiro Jenkins. Too late, he discovers Jenkins has built a secret factory on the ranch to produce high-tech GPS-guided mortars with deadly range and accuracy for a Fourth of July terrorist boat attack in Galveston Bay. At stake are the lives of the entire Kotah clan and a significant part of America’s economic infrastructure. Bear battles his personal war trauma to alert his family and state and federal forces to stop Jenkins’s devastating attack.
