A botched murder-for-hire scheme pits two estranged childhood friends against a reclusive crime lord. To overcome the seedy players of their rural West Virginia town, the duo must navigate a nostalgia-laced trail of past traumas and broken dreams. But small-town secrets and big-time criminals threaten to pull them deeper into the dark corners of the human psyche.
