It’s 1931 in Kansas, and twenty-three-year-old Jamie Foster is in desperate need of employment. Recklessly, she secures a job as an executioner, but quickly discovers the trauma that comes with it. Through this job she meets Eleanor Collins, a woman who has recently fled her hometown, and the two form a deep connection- one that Jamie does not entirely understand.
 
Things take a dark turn when Jamie’s guilt becomes too much for her to handle alone and she begins to see the ghostlike forms of the people she has executed. The more she tries to justify the executions, the more distressing it becomes. The world around her is growing increasingly unsettling, and it only gets worse when an unsettling figure from Eleanor’s past unknowingly follows her to Kansas. Left with nowhere to hide and nobody but each other, the two form a plan to escape.
