Friday night at the Dead Man's Hand, the roadhouse bar owned by the Devil's Aces MC in Hollins Gap, West Virginia. The band's loud, the beer's cold, and all five officers are in the building: Cole, the President with a gambler's grin; Wyatt, the smug, soft-hearted VP; Amos, the gentle giant on the door; Isaiah, the quiet Road Captain who sees everything; and Calvin, the nervous Treasurer who used to keep the enemy's books.
