Andrew Waggoner has always hung around with his fellow losers at school, desperately hoping each day that the institution bullies – led by Drake – will pass by him searching for other prey. But one day they force him into the woods, as well as the bullying escalates into something more; something unforgivable; something unthinkable. Broken, both literally and emotionally, something dies in Waggoner, then one else exists in its place. In the hillsides of the Western world Country a chalk equine stands vigil over a site of historic power, and there Waggoner discovers in himself a reflection of trend and vengeance, a power and persona to topple those who would provide him low.
