After spending their entire lives escaping the darkness of their past, Roy and Carl are inevitably forced to face their own personal demons when Carl decides to come back and make peace with it.
Unlike his younger brother Carl, who was eager to leave his traumatic past behind and move away from the tranquil mountain town where he was raised, Roy has never left. Like everyone else in the community, Roy thought Carl was lost for good. Carl, though, has lofty goals for his city. As he reappears, bringing with him an enigmatic new spouse and an alluring business prospect, latent conflicts emerge and the town's prior unexplained deaths are scrutinized more closely. Subsequently, influential figures sought to eliminate the brothers by disclosing their part in the vile past of the town.
However, Roy and Carl are not new to violence; they are survivors. Roy has consistently shielded his younger sibling. However, Roy's commitment to his family is put to the test as the body count grows. Roy then experiences an overwhelming attraction to Shannon, Carl's wife, which will have disastrous results. Roy's world is collapsing, and there won't be a way out soon. He will have to decide between a future he had never dared to hope for and his own flesh and blood.
