Returning to Fort Smith, six weeks sober, Curtis finds himself without any sober friends, his mother still struggling with alcoholism, and his best friend, Lacey, likely too preoccupied with her own issues. Undeterred, Curtis is determined to abstain from alcohol and support his people. Along the way, he may also find a way to heal himself.

Louis, Curtis' late grandfather, was a renowned healer. According to legend, Louis struck a deal with the Little People, granting him the power to heal. However, since Louis' passing, there has been no communication from the Little People. His cabin, however, holds the potential key to their return.

The only obstacle in Curtis' path is Benny the Bank, an infamous bootlegger who has profited off Fort Smith's pain for decades. After surviving a near-fatal assassination attempt, Benny realizes he has limited time before the poison in his blood takes him. He also happens to own Louis' cabin.

Can Curtis persuade Benny to return the home that once belonged to Louis? Will the Little People answer Curtis' call? And can Benny find a way to make amends and leave a legacy he can be proud of?
