• When the townspeople gather at a cemetery to bury a local man, they are suddenly interrupted by a loud plane crash in the desert. As the sheriff speeds toward the crash-site, he almost hits a man running down the road. He has no shoes, no memory and ... show all no ID. The only clue to who he is is a label in his jacket and a book that’s been inscribed to him: both giving him the name Solomon Creed. When he learns of the name of the Arizona town, he thinks he is there to save a man who was buried that morning. To uncover the story of his past, Solomon must first learn the town’s secrets and the truth behind the death of the man he is there to save. Along the way there are people willing to do anything to stop him, prepared to call on the darkest forces to prevent Solomon from succeeding.
