The end of the world?

When Laurie Montgomery temporarily steps down from her position as Chief Medical Examiner at the OCME, she and Jack decide to embark on a weekend getaway. And the timing couldn't be better when they receive a call from Jack's old peer, Robert Neilson MD, about two strange deaths and their potential association with the upswing in Alzheimer's cases in Essex Falls.

But Essex Falls is far from the rural idyllic town of their imagination. It's apparent that most of the residents wish to return America back to the 1950s. Robert tells them the deaths are of two troublemakers, known to be white extremists. Prior to their deaths, their behavior had been somewhat bizarre with both complaining of muscle spasms, nausea, and off-the-charts anxiety.
