In a remote Appalachian town in the 1950s, residents are struck by a mysterious wave of sudden memory loss. A determined young woman obsessively documents the town’s fading history. When a government scientist, Jasper, arrives to investigate the phenomenon, he finds not only a potential cause buried in the poisoned land, but an unexpected connection with Dortha.
