Set a few years after the second US Civil War, Rosie (a travelling electrician) is delayed in a rural town and befriends a local woman who has recently woken from a coma. They have vastly different backgrounds and life experiences, but they both come to a question that no one in the town seems to be willing to talk about. Just where is Lorna? Their search for the truth engages them with a secretive, retired journalist, fearful business owners and a few willing conspirators to help them delve into what they call 'The Lorna Incident'.
