Tim Harrison has spent much of his life on the road, and the long stretches away from home have taken their toll. His marriage is failing, his family is slipping away, and the life he thought he understood is beginning to unravel.

When Tim discovers his wife has found comfort with another man, the betrayal sets in motion a chain of events no one could have foreseen. What begins as the collapse of a marriage soon becomes something far darker, pulling Tim into a world of violence, revenge, and people who live by their own rules.

Among them are outlaw bikers whose sense of justice has little to do with the law, and JD Tolliver, a larger-than-life character who will become an important part of Tim's life.

Set against the highways and back roads of the American trucking world, Whipping Post is the beginning of Tim Harrison's story, a man forced to confront betrayal, tragedy, and the realization that some events change the course of a life forever.
