A powerful research corporation enriches residents of
affluent Barron, while in blue-collar St. Croix, victims of
the company’s carcinogenic waste struggle to survive.
Bad blood escalates into open warfare when the beautiful
daughter of the corporation’s president is found shot
dead—and a St. Croix girl, Olivia Hawk, is accused of the
crime. Reluctantly, Olivia’s mother summons her estranged
husband, Christopher, a Minneapolis lawyer to come defend his
daughter. But as Christopher struggles to unravel the mystery,
he uncovers ugly truths endangering the residents of both
towns. And looming over everything are chilling, apocalyptic
threats from a psychopath known only as “Aquarius.”
