Briarpatch is a homecoming of sorts. Returning to your home town with anxious energy and uncertainty is a common experience. Seeing the sights of your childhood, all the moments and memories that have shaped you into who you are after a long period away, is an emotional event.
Combine the singular emotional experience of returning home with your sister’s murder by car bombing, your high school reunion, a senate investigation about your old friend who was an arms dealer, the unraveling of an incredibly corrupt town, and the unbearable heat of Texas, and you have
Briarpatch.
