A MAN SO ILL THAT HE rarely leaves his bed goes missing. Tracks lead into harsh, open land of Cottonwood County. The man is the husband of Tom Burrell’s office assistant. He organizes the search, calling for volunteers. KWMT-TV’s Elizabeth Danniher and Mike Paycik join the search.
What they find is not what anyone could have predicted.
They’re pitchforked into mysteries that swirl around precious irrigation water that determines if the land will be productive or not, around the ditch boss who rules the water, and around family rivalries and loyalties.
