Freshly released from a court-ordered rehab, Nora Hoffman has nowhere left to go. Unsure of her next move, she retreats to the last place she can think of, her estranged grandfather’s retirement community on the outskirts of Palm Springs. There she can only hope to disappear long enough to rebuild her life.

It's August and sweltering. Most residents have fled the desert for cooler climates, leaving behind a handful of stubborn retirees, lonely misfits, and colorful eccentrics. The isolated community is quiet, forgotten, and far removed from everything Nora is trying to escape.

Then a violent sandstorm tears through the valley. Power and phone service fail, and a fallen tree blocks the only way out, cutting the community off from the outside world. With temperatures soaring and the nearest town thirty miles away, survival quickly becomes a daily struggle…Especially when the residents begin mysteriously dying. As the body count grows, becoming increasingly brutal and impossible to explain, fear spreads through the isolated community, and suspicion turns neighbor against neighbor. Trapped beneath an unforgiving sun, with dwindling supplies and no way to call for help, Nora is forced to confront both the mystery surrounding the deaths, and the demons that drove her to rehab in the first place. Whoever is stalking the retirement community isn't finished yet… and if she can't uncover the truth, no one will make it out alive.

A unique and immersive auditory experience, this audiobook blends evocative music, cinematic sound design, and a riveting performance by Abigail Wahl & Victor Warren that will plunge listeners deep into a thrilling narrative that delivers a powerful emotional punch.
