Summary

A group of people is pulled together by their various and equally bizarre illnesses. Dominick has somnambulism, Ginger has unexplained lapses into a fugue state, Father Brendan loses his faith and then has a supernatural 'gift,' and Ernie has nyctophobia.

Dominick receives Polaroids that lead him to the Tranquility Motel, which is located thirty miles west of Elko in the Nevada 'high desert.' 

They realize, along with Ned and Sandy, who owns the restaurant next door to the motel, that their genuine memories from the previous summer may have been buried. 

Ginger, Jorja, and the other guests at the Tranquility Motel are later contacted and offered to join the organization. 

Ginger reveals that Azrael Blocks, a form of brainwashing generated by medications and hypnosis, inhibit their memories. She underwent hypnosis as a treatment to determine the origin of her illness.

The 'community' of Tranquility is unaware that those behind the repression are observing them. 

Jack Twist has joined them (who was led to the Tranquility Motel by a series of postcards placed there by an insider). 

Finally, the gang devises a plan to discover the government secret concealed in the hills at the Thunder Hill Depository.
