A brutal mystery haunts the remote hills of Silver Hill County.

A lone stranger stumbles into town with no memory of who he is or what he has done.
He turns himself in for murder.
His story sounds impossible.
He claims he woke up in a barn full of bodies.

Sheriff TK Kessel soon discovers the man was telling the truth.
Nineteen men and women lie dead inside the barn.
All signs point to something dark and deeply disturbing.
And with the stranger suffering from the same arsenic poisoning as the victims, TK is left wondering if he is a killer, a survivor, or both.

While TK is buried in the case, FBI agent Sarah Cross is fighting her way back into field service.
A sudden break in her Dragonslayer Syndicate investigation pulls her away, but when the lead goes cold, she returns to Silver Hill just as the mass murder case takes a darker turn.

As Sarah and TK dig through lies, buried secrets, and a trail of poisoned faith, they uncover a chilling web of manipulation that reaches far deeper than either of them expected.

The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the case becomes.
Cults, deception, and a killer hiding behind a mask of righteousness.
