The summer of 1933 feels like Armageddon. Crops are dead, jobs are gone, and hope is dying. Even breathing grows difficult in zero-visibility dust storms called black blizzards. Worse, Lyon County Sheriff Billy Rhett Kershaw finds his young deputy murdered. About the same time, his friends and neighbors begin killing themselves.

In the midst of all this, when Sheriff Billy, with a few deputized locals, learns that an organized group of career criminals from Chicago threaten a local businessman and his family in the small town of George, Iowa, they look for a connection between these brutal newcomers and the mysterious deaths. Or is something far more sinister going on?
