But there are far worse things lurking in the desert ahead. Pursued by a mysterious stranger who knows far more about Nell's worsening condition than they let on, the siblings race to find a way to help Nell and escape the desert before they're met with a violent, bloody end. As their journey through the desolate American Southwest reveals the grotesque change happening within his sister, one thing becomes clear to Jonah: It's not only Nell in there anymore. But when a strange accident befalls Nell at an abandoned industrial site somewhere in the Nevada desert, she begins experiencing ghastly visions and exhibiting terrifying, otherworldly symptoms. Now, in the wake of Jonah's divorce, they embark on a cross-country road trip back to their hometown of Albuquerque, hoping to mend their broken relationship along the way. Siblings Jonah and Nell Talbot used to be inseparable, but ever since Jonah suddenly blew town twelve years ago, they couldn't be more distant. Unless they can defeat this threat, it will spell the end for humanity.
Their lives entwined, they face an encroaching horror. Through a bizarre twist of seemingly coincidental circumstances, a band of strangers now find themselves under Montana's big dark sky. Mass murder is the only way to see his frightening manifesto come to pass. All the while, on the outskirts of Rustling Willows, a madman lurks with a vision to save the future. They are haunted, on the run, obsessed, and seeking answers to the same omniscient danger Joanna came to confront. People from all walks of life have converged at the remote ranch. She isn't the only one drawn to the Montana farmstead. Heeding the disturbing appeals, Joanna is compelled to return to Montana, and to a strange childhood companion she had long forgotten. Now thirty-four and living in Santa Fe with only misty memories of the past, she begins to receive pleas-by phone, through her TV, in her dreams: I am in a dark place, Jojo.
As a girl, Joanna Chase thrived on Rustling Willows Ranch in Montana until tragedy upended her life.
