“When Rhea and Eddie’s Chevy breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they’re forced to seek refuge in St. Andrew, the kind of town people drive through every day without stopping. There’s just something off about the place.

With grief and guilt at her heels, Rhea works for their room at the town’s only bar. Everything and everyone there reminds her of her family. But for the first time in three years, she is also shown kindness. Would these new “friends” see her the same if they knew the drugs she had carried killed her little sister?

Meanwhile, St. Andrew’s estranged priest offers Eddie salvation from his past. But Eddie doesn’t need saving, not when he’s got Rhea and the comfort in the bottom of a bottle. Still, the dark figure seen out of the corner of Eddie’s eye since crossing town lines promises much more. Will Eddie give into temptation?

What was supposed to be a temporary stay turns into a struggle against darkness and damnation. Will these two young lovers reconcile their guilty past of drugs and death or be trapped in this haunted Midwestern town forever?”
