It's the seventies. America is going through growing pains. President Lyndon B. Johnson's welfare policies have thrown the Georgia peach industry into disarray, and the new I-75 interstate is snaking its way through the South like General Sherman's infamous march. These have caused the residents of rural communities like Haynesville, Georgia, to lose their livelihood. There are no workers to pick the peaches and no tourists to spend money in the town.
Dr. Rutherford sees small-town life is drying up. He becomes increasingly unnerved by observed events. Locals disappear and no one talks about it. A hysterical woman accuses her dead husband of doing terrible things. Someone dies trying to burn the church down with everyone in it. Town officials rule the community with a deadly fist. Something sinister is taking place in Haynesville. The town may be dying, but the residents aren't going down without a fight. As Dr. Rutherford begins to uncover their dangerous schemes, he learns even small towns can hide enormous, deadly secrets.
