Throwing himself into the much more mundane effort of saving his house’s financial future, Waxillium spends half a year working to reverse his late uncle’s squandering of the family funds.

That same day, Wayne, an old partner from his time in the Roughs, re-enters Wax’s life carrying with him an [[aluminum]] bullet and a tantalizing mystery surrounding a gang of train robbers known as the [[Vanishers]], which threatens to draw Wax away from his house responsibilities and right back into the life of a lawman.
