A secretive millennial cult from California purchases a ranch on the outskirts of the Montana badlands - the eerily silent, dry, and windy dead zone - and the Toussaint townsfolk are none too pleased.
The cult members keep to themselves, but the suspicious circumstances under which they've arrived have Gabriel Du Pre questioning their motives and seeking answers. He soon learns from a friend in the FBI that seven of the cult's recently defected members were killed - each shot to death - but no arrests have been made. Then another shooting occurs at the perimeter of the ranch, and Du Pre finds himself blindly searching for a killer, an explanation for the murders, and the identity of the cult's elusive leader.
