* AssholeVictim: The man in the beginning, who escapes the town jail only to be burned to death in a giant ''Film/TheWickerMan''-type structure. He turns out to be an escaped murderer.
* CurbStompBattle: When Cade starts asking awkward questions, he's attacked and beaten by a gang of locals. As always when this happens, he seems to accept it as the cost of doing business.
* {{Gaslighting}}: The town Cade investigates has endured three straight years of rain. It's a Gua experiment using weather control to investigate human breaking points. Weaponised Seasonal Affective Disorder, basically. The town in question has gone back to their Druidic roots and started sacrificing people out of desperation.
* ShoutOut: To ''Film/TheWickerMan'', complete with the titular sacrificial structure. Although it ends better for our hero than the film did.
* TownWithADarkSecret: The townspeople have resorted to human sacrifice to try and end the downpour that has lasted three years by this point.
