Down at the furthest corner of Kansas, the part of the state hit hardest by the dustbowl, is the town Doldrum. Modern day Doldrum is supported by T.H.E. Co., a defense contractor that looks like it might be conducting some shady research. More disconcerting than T.H.E.'s research are the residents of Doldrum. They seem a bit off to newcomers Henry and Gina, who have just uprooted their life in Kansas City to move to the town. But it isn't just that the townspeople are strange - it seems like they all know something that Henry and Gina don't.
