Following a tragic incident in L.A., detective Kacey Dean has returned to her hometown of Pleasant Hills, Washington, just in time to be swept up in a series of murders called the Chosen Killings-- citizens of Pleasant Hills are killing people seemingly at random, saying the words "I am chosen" before committing the murder. Kacey Dean has killed the man she thought was responsible, but she's about to find out that the Chosen Killings are far beyond her, or anyone's, understanding.

/"It was like some insane bad trip. Crazy and weird as hell. Like Teletubbies. You ever watch that freakiness?/" Kacey shuddered. /"Talk about heebie jeebies./"

Hollis shook his head and sighed. /"I'm just glad I convinced Jack to not go into detail about what he saw last night… and, not to mention me. We rehearsed his story twenty times at least before I dropped him off./"
