A "Visitant" is a Visitor from the Spirit World or one who comes back to the land of the living when they were believed to have died. What better terms could be said about a rag tagged group of Confederate soldiers who lived through all the bloodshed and turmoil of the American Civil War. Rusty Rivers leads these war weary Confederate soldiers west to Beckley West Virginia. When Rusty Rivers accidentally killed the town's near-do-well Roy Bloomfield, he feels obligated to help Bloomfield's family.
Rusty forms a Company to provide a Labor Force that has a major impact on the rebirth of Beckley and he saved the surrounding Counties from economic disaster when there is a crop failure in 1868. Rusty married Sally, a war widow who Sheriff Jordan believes killed, Frank Yancy. Yancy was seeking to kill Trusty to avenge what took place at a crossroads before Rusty knew the Civil War was officially over. For almost 18 year, Rusty's life had been idea until Lloyd Thompson came to Rusty with a business proposal to open his family's coalmine. Rusty did not invest in this coalmine but Roy Bloomfield's son who came to work for Rusty after graduating from Harvard steals the Thompson Coalmine proposal and goings into business with a Classmate from Harvard. When Lloyd Thompson believes that Rusty stole his business and his family's property, Lloyd kills Rusty and Rusty's son Dug Rivers kills him. When Dug Rivers learns why Lloyd Thompson killed his father he uses a twist in the West Virginia State's Laws to prevent Bloomfield and his Harvard business partner from profiting from the deaths of Rusty Rivers and Lloyd Thompson. Although "Vengeance is mine says the Lord," the story of the Visitants become the means to extracting that Vengeance.
