A wind came into Millstone one day and wouldn't let up. People departed gradually. It appeared as though the community was trying to purge itself in preparation for something evil. Harper is suspicious of a strange man who moves to the area and buys an old, abandoned farmhouse on Clay Road. Investigating the man's behaviour leads Harper and his closest buddy Jeremey to some startling revelations about their community, the newcomer, and the wind itself. However, getting close to the truth has risks, and they soon discover that they are in peril not only from the stranger on Clay Road but also from the sinister powers that have been dormant in Millstone for too long.
