Carbon County, Wyoming is like a current running through Daphne’s heart.
When life gets too tough to bear in Detroit, Daphne flees to her Uncle
Floyd’s home, where she believes she’ll find solace in the silent hills
of her childhood summers. But Daphne’s Greyhound bus pulls over in
downtown Carbon County and it’s not silence that welcomes her. It’s
trumpets.
Daphne’s desire to start again in simple country
comfort is instantly dashed as the townsfolk declare that the End Times
are here. And incredible occurrences soon support their belief. Daphne
does all she can to keep her head down and ignore the signs. She works a job at the local oil rig, helps around the house, hangs out with her
pregnant cousin Janie and gets to know Owen, a mysterious motocross
racer and fellow roustabout at the rig. But soon a startling discovery
shatters her resolve and calls into question all her doubts and fears.
Daphne landed in Carbon County for a reason. She only has to read the signs — and believe.
