Dr. Axon Riddle, the pit boss and overseer of a large urban hospital emergency room, experiences all the trauma and drama that attends that position. The story begins with a found object that proves to be the gateway to a mass grave in the Mississippi delta, ultimately leading to an encounter with a perverse and adversarial religious sect. Cyrus Dixon is an expat from the Mississippi delta living in Washington, D.C. working as an investigative journalist when he elects to return home to his mother who is in failing health. His transition is not seamless, and is complicated by a cascade of events, including a series of murders that put his investigative skills to the test. An ever-evolving love triangle and recognition of his own character deficiencies and mortality prove problematic for this cultural interloper. Thematic elements of the these two parallel narratives include medicine, murder, archaeology, extraterrestrial visitation, and biblical prophecy, with introductions to characters and scenes emblematic of the South.
