The year is 1999. The much anticipated "Y2K" is but three short months away. Hidden among the many events of the year was a little-known incident that happened in the high desert area of eastern Oregon during a four-day period. Something inexplicable was systematically and indiscriminately killing wildlife, livestock and human beings without provocation, without exception, and without mercy. Their grotesque deaths trigger a frantic search by a diverse and separate number of individuals to find answers before more die.As the mystery unfolds, two investigators manage to slowly fit the pieces of the puzzle together-only to find themselves the target of a maniacal plot to stop and silence them. Some secrets are worth killing for.
