Red Caplean. A small town in the south, it's always been quiet; up until now....

My friends and I were just exploring a cabin that we thought was abandoned. We never expected police visits to become daily occurrences in our lives. When we stumble across the body of none other than my mother, everything changes and we are suddenly suspects in a murder investigation. When the killer contacts me and tells me I can't tell anyone, not even my friends or my sister will be next, I have to battle my morals between what is right and what is instinct.
