Agent Carthage finally gets to leave her KBI desk for an out-of city assignment, and ends up in Tanesca, the town that shouldn't exist. A house has exploded, and Crime lab dispatched. However, as with the incident two years previous, strange events challenge everything Carthage knows about working for the KBI, and she finds herself buried in non-standard procedure, unexplained occurrences, and mysterious visions. A story related to the book Weird Wheat, this tells a tale of a once-defeated evil and it's attempt to return, only to be stopped by a rookie agent.
