They say that those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it. With that in mind, what would lead Martin Niemoller to write a version for today?

The shenanigans of the P&B duo continues; 2nd story.

Parker: The ex-naval officer turned contractor who survives on clarity.
Brody: The Tier-1 SOF operator who holds the line and carries the weight.

They found their frequency in the desert, but the home front is a different kind of battlefield. Two grown men built for impact, operating on a frequency the world can’t hear. They’ve traded the sandbox for the pines, but the foundational silence is about to be shattered. They must find the Ground Truth—or watch their defense pact go down in flames. But to rebuild a stronger alliance, they will have to survive the fallout.

*I'm rebooting the series guys!*

Shaun’s an outsider. He has a dark past and an even darker habit of cutting himself. The only thing he’s got going for him is his guitar and a head full of lyrics.

When Jesse moves to town, bringing bright smiles and warm blue eyes into Shaun’s dark life, he insists they become friends.

But that’s going to be a problem for Shaun because he's finding himself hopelessly attracted to Jesse’s undeniable charm. Being gay isn’t brutal and Shaun has an image to uphold if he’s ever got a shot at becoming the death metal God he knows he’s destined to become.

Ex-Military recluse Hank runs his isolated farm with measured violence and tactical clarity. When Jesse, a 22-year-old, stumbles into Hank’s world, the "math" of the farm changes forever. Jesse is more than a stray; and his dark past is about to catch up with him.

Hank doesn't offer pity; he offers an absolute, grounding ownership. But while trying to protect the boy, he realizes he can’t hold the line alone and calls in favors.

The debt is about to be paid in lead and spent fury.

The exploits of the P&B duo; 1st story.

Parker: the ex-officer turned contractor/fixer.
Brody: the Tier-1 operator who holds the line.

Both men built for impact, with zero tolerance for games. Brothers in arms, partners, and solitary souls searching for a forever home.

A military alliance of two against a rotten world.
