A taut thriller about two rural Minnesota towns locked in
a deadly feud - and a teenage girl caught in the crossfire.
Linked by the Spirit River, the two towns couldn't be more
different: in affluent Barron, a powerful and secretive
scientific research corporation enriches its residents,
while downriver in blue-collar St. Croix, victims of that
company's carcinogenic waste struggle to survive.
The bad blood between the communities escalates into open
warfare when the beautiful Ashlynn, daughter of the
corporation's president, is found shot dead - and a St.
Croix girl, Olivia Hawk, is accused of the crime.
Reluctantly, Olivia's mother summons her estranged husband
Christopher, a Minneapolis lawyer, to come defend his
daughter. As Christopher struggles to unravel the mystery
of Ashlynn's murder and save his own daughter, he uncovers
some ugly truths that endanger the residents of both
towns. And looming over everything are the chilling,
apocalyptic threats from a murderous psychopath known only
as “Aquarius.”
