One-armed war veteran John J. Macreedy steps off a train at the sleepy little town of Black Rock. Once there, he begins to unravel a web of lies, secrecy, and murder.
The desert sun beats down on a town where every local maintains a suffocating, polite silence about a decades-old disappearance. A one-armed stranger disrupts this fragile peace, peeling back layers of collective guilt with relentless precision.
