Description

In a terrifying thriller, a supernatural force—set in motion a century ago—threatens to devastate New York City. Far upstate, in New York’s ancient forests, a drowned village lays beneath the dark, still waters of the Chilliwack reservoir. Early in the 20th century, the town was destroyed for the greater good: bringing water to the millions living downstate. Or at least that’s what the politicians from Manhattan insisted at the time. The local families, settled there since America’s founding, were forced from their land, but they didn’t move far, and some didn’t move at all… Now, a century later, repercussions of human arrogance are finally making themselves known; inspectors assigned to oversee neglected dams witness something inexplicable. Their reports on crumbling infrastructure raise troubling questions about dam safety and risk exposure for all that live downstream.
