The children of Homeland exist in a state of terror. Every year or so, a boy from their school disappears, vanishing into the wasteland of the old chemical plant. Nobody knows where the boys go, or if they are still alive. The town policeman was involved in the cover-up of one boy's murder, and is determined to find the killer.
