Refusing to leave his sister in favor of his deceased grandmother's wishes that he raise her, Bud has chosen a life of crime to support eight year old Rhya. But parenting isn't really Bud's field of expertise. Having to struggle between keeping a roof over his family's head, staying out of jail, and his sister's anomalous behavioral problems, the twenty-four year old finds himself desperate and at the core of a ransom gambit in order to make extra money. In the middle of his game plan, something unexpected takes place, forcing Elias to collaborate with his hostage in order to rescue his sister from an ominous threat of the otherworldly kind.
