'Imagine Breaking Bad's Walter White as the pastor of a Baptist Church; Hinkson's Brother Weatherford's fall is as far, as dark, and as deep' John Copenhaver Richard Weatherford is a successful small-town preacher in the Arkansas Ozarks. He's a proud husband and father of five, and has worked hard to grow his loyal flock with strong sermons and smart community outreach. But while Weatherford is a man of influence and power - including a big force in local politics - he's also a man with secrets.
In the lead up to the 2016 presidential election, Weatherford's world is threatened when he's blackmailed by a former lover. Collecting the money the blackmailer demands will be a nearly impossible feat, especially over Easter weekend, when all eyes are on him. So Weatherford will have to turn to the darkest corners of their small town in a desperate attempt to keep his world from falling apart. A dark vision of American religion and politics, Dry County is a portrait of a man willing to do anything to hold onto his power - including murder.
