Quarry Steps Between

It's 2013 in Henson Creek, North Carolina. Now forty, Tony Quarry remains as dedicated to the welfare of his family and community as he is to physical fitness. On his way home from work one night, he comes to the aid of a gay college student under assault by a local gang.

His selfless act triggers a series of interconnected events that involve a gay-bashing preacher; his more ominous, undertaker wife; an increase in the lethality of street drugs; and a local criminal gang driving the drug problem.

In the middle of the mayhem stands Tony Quarry, his fiercely faithful dog, Russ, and his resolutely loyal friends to battle for the health of an American community.
