Its 2018 in the regular world, and 1864 just a few miles down Main Street. The civil war uncivilly rages on in heartland America. A great nation is divided against itself. Tearing a few statues down shouldnt rip at the social fabric of a whole country, but after Charlottesville, and that innocent girl being run over - bad things getting worse is only to be expected. Stonewall Jackson sits precariously in the town square, while down in the holler an invading army is encamped. A little girl sets out to find her missing puppy, walking a dangerous path between the past, and the future, and when she doesnt come home a church bell rings the coming storm: what is lost, and what is found is the very meaning of profound. Timberville, VA is ground zero for murder. The seven-foot tall blind pastor over at the Tastee-Freez Church has seen this day coming in his minds eye. A dark poem overshadows the Blue Ridge. The probable, and the impossible are about to collide. Monuments in town squares, and cemeteries will come alive, and God in Heaven will finally take sides. Its getting as cold as winter. Spring is far away. Smoke is on the mountains. A little girl waits to be found. Tears fall from heaven; then the Shenandoah do carry them away.
