Over the internet, he meets and is attracted to a small town Kentucky woman named Roxie. This woman seems to be the girl of his dreams - sensual, ambitious, funny and beautiful. After having an extended series of emails and phone conversations, he decides to visit her at her home in Kentucky, to see if she is all that she seems to be. The meeting is magic. Roxie is a consummate gourmet cook and treats Mark like a king. They travel the area seeing the sights and all the while, they laugh. But their intimate life is where the action is. Even though they are both past 55 years old, they make love like two adrenaline pumped teens. They fall head over heels for each other and decide to live together. So Mark packs up his belongings from New York and moves into her beautiful house, just outside Burkesville, Kentucky. But like the flip of a switch, there are immediate problems as soon as he gets in his new abode. He and Roxie fight, where they never did before. She constantly tells him lies. There seems to be a black cloud around Roxie, where other people get hurt. And their once raging sexual relationship has turned sour, causing them to sleep apart. What could have caused this abyss? Six weeks after moving his possessions and his life, away from his home town and into her world, he is charged with a heinous crime and during the investigation by the local police, a large cache of illegal drugs is found. Mark is arrested, charged with this new crime and while he is in custody, Roxie packs her house, takes all of her and his personal property and promptly moves; out of state. Unfortunately, Marks nightmare doesn't end there. This is a true story of flagrant injustice in a small country town. These horrifying accusations strain the man's family and friends trust, while calling their most cherished beliefs into serious question. The story rapidly moves along and tracks the actions and motivations of Mark, the calculating Roxie, the local police force and the Kentucky State Police, the County Attorney, the Attorney General and even the legal tenets of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Not only are many truths revealed, but also exposed is the extent that some will go to dominate, possess, hold power and even cover-up their actions. This story goes all the way up to Mark's jury trial, for the crimes that he didn't commit. For anyone who has ever dreamed of living in small-town USA and getting away from the rat-race of metropolis, this tale of one man's battle against the local 'good ol boys' may cause you to reconsider your aspirations in a new light.
