The beautiful, sleepy hamlet of Clydesdale, Maryland is a birdwatcher's paradise. Green trees and lush marshes are the perfect home for migratory birds to nest and raise their young. But this particular autumn, all birds are falling from the sky, their bodies mangled and torn, with no obvious explanation. This unprecedented, ominous phenomenon puts the small unremarkable community on the world map.

To this town arrives Larry Marble, newly divorced and embarking on his Grand Plan. A storm causes him to take the wrong exit into Clydesdale, but was it an accident or destiny? With powerful forces at play, Larry has to get in touch with his innate power, locked away within himself as a child, to save the birds, town and world from these invisible supernatural forces.
