A Prayer for the Dying tells the story of the American dream turning into a nightmare when a small town in Wisconsin is struck by a deadly epidemic, and one man fights to save the town, his family, and his own soul.

1870. Friendship, Wisconsin, is hit by a hot and devastating summer. Jacob Hansen, a former Civil War hero, carries dark memories he cannot leave behind. To make amends for his past, he has taken on the responsibilities of sheriff, pastor, and undertaker in the small town. When a deadly epidemic breaks out, everything is put at stake. The disease spreads rapidly, and Jacob must fight to protect both the town and his own family. Every decision becomes a choice between evils, and the memories from the war threaten to break him. A Prayer for the Dying is a powerful and harrowing tale of faith, family, and community, and of what happens when everything we take for granted is put to the test.
