Wade Rule decides to escape his dominating mother by taking it upon himself to go to Vermont to care for his wheelchair-bound uncle who, Wade's father tells him, has recently lost his girlfriend to a "man whose legs work." Wade reveals his dream to a fellow high school student, Maria, who tells him, "I'd run off to Vermont before I'd live with my father." Wade then knows he'll have to hurry because Maria is planning to have herself declared a ward of the state within a week. She has given Wade the confidence to get them both to a better home; however, Wade's confidence is misplaced, and when he shows up at school with a shotgun to fetch Maria, things quickly go horribly wrong.

Plowing up a snake means to go looking for trouble, and trouble aplenty comes to picture postcard pretty Enoch, New Hampshire, where citizens believe in taking care of their own, even if that means killing someone who just needed killing. Based on a still unsolved murder in 1950s Northern New England, Plowing Up A Snake unearths the snakes barely buried as passions erupt, truth turns cruel, and death follows death. Only two people, Marjorie, the victim’s widow and Clay, his cousin, want facts revealed, and soon they find themselves entangled in Enoch’s wickedness. Plowing Up A Snake paints a striking portrait of a small New Hampshire town’s reaction to the murder of one of its least-liked citizens by some of its most respectable.
