 Jerry Pruitt loves his tiny home town so much that he is trying to bring it back to life by renovating and reopening some of its businesses. But the disappearance of a young woman and her grandmother and the strange circumstances surrounding the event and his possible part in it begin to consume Jerry and threaten to undermine his dreams for the town, his marriage and even his sanity.
