The year is 1967. Sheriff Ernest Blair and the good people of Clairn are about to face an unknown force; one that attracts the attention of the government and its brightest geophysicist, Emma Park. Drafting the aid of security liaison Evan Marshall, Ernest and Emma soon find themselves tangled up in a mystery that no one was supposed to discover. Time is running out, not only for the investigators, but also for Kyle Meyer, a high school boy who seems to know more than anyone about...The Distant Drumming.
