One warm night Oliver Loving joins his classmates at the annual
school dance, hoping for a glimpse of the girl he's long been in
love with. But as music fills the gymnasium and students timidly
approach the dancefloor, a young man enters with a gun, leaving
five people dead and Oliver in a coma. A decade later, Oliver remains in limbo, wordless and paralyzed.
His brother has long since fled. His father has turned to drink in
the Texan desert. His town has withered, its people unable to
forget. Only his mother, buoyed by the result of fresh neurological
tests, holds onto the unshakeable hope that Oliver will soon wake
up, and finally answer the questions that have slept with him for
ten long years.

Rodina nade vše. Volné pokračování bestselleru Království.
Carl a Roy Opgardovi dosáhli všeho, čeho ve vesnici, jako je Os,
dosáhnout mohli. Carl řídí luxusní wellness hotel, zatímco majitel
benzínky Roy tu hodlá vybudovat zábavní park s horskou dráhou.
Plánovaná přeložka silnice je však může připravit o vše – a tak si
zase jednou musí ušpinit ruce. Na krk jim navíc dýchá místní
policejní náčelník, který má na dosah důkaz o tom, že bratři stojí
za sérií podezřelých úmrtí, jejichž počet navíc stoupá. Jakmile se
totiž horská dráha rozjede, už z ní nelze vystoupit.
