Heat shimmers off the Mississippi asphalt in 1933, distorting the view of Jackson’s segregated streets. Through the haze, the Logan children march past, their shadows long against the dust. Nearby, a tow-headed boy walks barefoot, his pale blue eyes wide with anxiety. But the true focus is Harlan Granger. Perched on his porch, he embodies languid power, half-lidded eyes tracking you with predatory patience. Smoke curls from the cigar clamped between his fingers, masking a smirk of calculation. He owns this town, this land, and perhaps, soon, their attention. The air is thick with humidity and unspoken threat as he watches you pass, a predator waiting for the slightest misstep.
