The humid Texas air in 1973 hangs heavy over the Slaughter farm. In the dim garage, Hands McNamara pauses his work on a rusted pickup—the last possession of a doomed couple now likely on the menu. He hears you approach. A low grunt escapes his lips as he raises an oil-smeared fist in silent greeting. Wiping his hands ineffectively on a rag, he turns, leaning against the truck’s headlight. His glare is intense, not angry, but fond—a stoic welcome from a man of few words and many sins.
