Introduction

The life of the citizens of Tower, Montana, is interrupted by the appearance and disappearance of a stranger in town, by a violent act of murder and an influx of drug runners working out of isolated locations on the prairie.

Conflict

Peace and quiet are at a premium as Pastor Sicily Anderson and Deputy Sheriff Jess Spandler find themselves drawn into a chain of circumstances that can only mean disaster, not only for them, but others in the community.
