A wandering man chooses a town, a street, then chooses the sharp end of a blade, hoping only to find rest. But he has made the wrong choice, freeing more than his blood.

Freeing the haunts he’s carried within himself, pains and horrors capable of attracting the restless in a place where the barrier is so thin. A place like Vicksburg, a small town of seemingly sleepy streets, where Ryan James returns to the home of his youth, nervous to find all the pieces of the life he’d broken years before to touch the jagged edge of old relationships, rub against the memories of who he used to be.

But as his past stirs, darkness and torture stretch out from shadows, growing. People hear the running footsteps of children in the night.

Noises echo down empty halls. Unspeakable figures move in the lightless angles, making known rooms and streets unfamiliar.

Untrustworthy. A slow terror grows throughout the town of Vicksburg.

People disappear. Lives end.

Nightmares learn to speak. And a man who came to account for the man he used to be, a town restless and haunted, a terrorized many, all find themselves caught between the lurking hunger of yesterday and the fading hope of seeing tomorrow.
