Police Chief Frannie McCabe watches a three-legged dog limp toward him and collapse dead at his feet. This strange event marks the beginning of something far more unsettling in Crane's View, New York. McCabe has always known his small town as a place where life moves predictably, where harmony defines daily existence. Now inexplicable events begin accumulating around him. Omens appear with increasing frequency. Disturbing miracles intrude into his orderly world. Each new occurrence challenges everything McCabe believes about reality. The supernatural forces gathering momentum seem to center on him personally. His responses to these phenomena will determine not just his own fate but potentially the destiny of everyone around him. McCabe must navigate a reality where the impossible has become routine, where his decisions carry weight beyond anything he could have imagined in his former peaceful existence.
