Orphaned by a tragic accident at sixteen, Tommy Burwell's been
scraping out a meager existence working dead-end jobs for years.
When he and fellow nomad Four Trey Whitey get jobs working with
dynamite, making way for a new pipeline across the deserted plains
of Far West Texas, disaster ensues. In a matter of days, Tommy is
brutally beaten and witness to an act of cold-blooded murder the
law can't be bothered to investigate.
When Carol, a knockout beauty, shows up looking to follow the
caravan of workers, Tommy falls for her almost immediately. There
aren't any jobs for women on the pipeline, but Carol knows a few
things she could do for the workers to keep afloat--an arrangement
that Tommy can't bear for long. As Tommy's about to find out, when
you're South of Heaven, you're far from grace--and sometimes the
only way out is down.
