"The Second Coming" is an erotic political-satire set in the South. Julie Chen, an uptight lawyer from Washington, D.C., is sent to the unremarkable town of Pothos, Georgia to prosecute a voting rights case. Time has forgotten Pothos, though there was not much to remember of it anyway. 

What starts as a straightforward case quickly descends into chaos. The courthouse burns down, disrupting the simple judicial process which the townspeople believe is the work of the ghost of a Confederate general, disturbed by Ms. Chen’s attempts to bring equality to Pothos. Julie Chen is having none of this, and wants to find the truth of the matter. The only person that may have witnessed the living criminal who burned the courthouse is Ms. Honeypaw, an alleged psychic with her own deep ties to the darkness within Pothos. 

As Julie navigates the complications of small town life, she discovers that her own simple ambitions are not as fulfilling as she once thought they would be. Things get complicated when she develops an interest in two men, Josh, a mechanic, who is attractive, gentle and accessible, and Ri’Chard, the unavailable but lip-bitingly handsome, quiet and calculating tow-truck driver.

“The Second Coming” is about an awakening of both the past and Julie, as she discovers that coming to Pothos will change her life forever.
