Willowsy is a peaceful place, a farming community where crime has never reared its ugly head. When bodies start turning up in the wheat fields at harvest time, Captain Baird and Officer Keens are determined to find out why and how they got there. Under orders from Captain Baird, he and his partner Officer Domme begin investigating.
Called out to Domme's home one stormy night through flooding streets, Keens discovers his partner's sister, Miranda, in a state of violent fits. Learning from the family that Miranda had been confined to a mental hospital for violent crimes committed as a child, he's not surprised to discover that Domme has locked the woman up to prevent his wife and daughter from falling prey to violence.
The investigation continues with Miranda at its center, only Captain Baird and Officer Keens can begin to uncover secrets the quiet farming community prefers to keep under wraps. Who or what is the real evil lurking in Willowsy? Is it a poor abused girl with too many secrets, or something more sinister?
