Shortly their town starts to collapse as disease and lawlessness operate rampant. With attractive, troubled Mason and friendly boy-next-door Hyrum at her aspect, Dee battles to survive and deals with a new, undeniable attraction at the same time. In the meantime, a corrupt, power-crazed sheriff is definitely administering a terrifying brutality and preying on the sick as well as the well supplied.
