Premise

Young, successful horror novelist Savannah Martin's (Ashley Pereira) new book is taking the genre by storm. Her father (

), the police chief of her small hometown, investigates murders and foul play too grim for their bucolic life. As she and her friends settle in for a relaxing weekend at her childhood home, the dark secret at the crux of Savannah's success stirs in her dreams and seeps into her reality. Amidst sexual tensions and fireside stories, Savannah's despondency and her father's case collide with gruesome and horrifying reveals, leaving little distinction between the subconscious and reality.
