A rash of mysterious murder-suicides in Taos, New Mexico, leads local police to an investigation of a supernatural sound driving innocent people to kill.   A Hum is terrorizing the small town of Taos, New Mexico. Those who hear the droning vibration go insane, killing others in a fit of rage before turning their hatred on themselves and committing suicide. Stumped, the town sheriff and deputy call on the state’s foremost Audiologist, hoping to discover some rational explanation. But it soon becomes apparent to all involved in the investigation that the Hum is beyond the scope of science. Was it a paranormal force or some kind of divine retribution? The only thing clear is that as long as the Hum persists, no one is safe.
