About this listen

After Jimmy Simmons vanishes near the Diamond Caverns in 1999, the quaint town of Glasgow, Kentucky is torn apart. The Furious Four–Lance, Billy, Jimmy, and Tommy–are now a broken circle, their brotherhood haunted by Jimmy's impossible disappearance.

Twenty years later, Lance Michaels, now the town's sheriff, is trapped in a loveless marriage and haunted by missed opportunities. When a mysterious stranger arrives with an impossible story about a place called "The Long"—a liminal space deep in the caves where another world exists similar to this one—Lance is forced to consider a truth more complex than he ever imagined.

As new evidence surfaces and long-buried secrets begin to unravel, Lance discovers decades of deceit that threaten to destroy everything he believes about his own life. The son he thought was his, the wife he never truly loved, the future he was denied—all begin to crumble under the weight of an investigation that promises to expose the town's deepest, darkest secrets.

With the reopened case pushing him to consider every possible explanation—even the unthinkable, Lance begins to question: What is real, and what is merely a shadow of something beyond understanding?

The Long is a gripping exploration of loss, memory, and the devastating power of secrets.
