When Hurricane Matilda approaches Hollow, Texas, Callie and her husband, Police Chief Daniel Murphy, unsuspectingly have their home turned into Shelter Central. Quite a menagerie of small town characters come calling before, during, and after the storm.

When a woman's body turns up, not Tilley's, heads spin. Callie and her houseguests set out to find the missing woman. Without a body it's difficult to prove Clive Bentley did indeed kill his wife.

In the storm's aftermath, Callie pushes herself further into the investigation, along with the help of her Cadaver Dog, Yadar. They walk straight into the path of a killer's warped mind...
