Storyline: On the outskirts of a small southern Virginia town, retired serial killer Ron Blair struggles to come to terms with the acts of his cruel past. His daily routine of odd jobs and drinking is interrupted when screams from the woods lure him into a chance of saving victims from a boogeyman with uncanny similarities to himself. In surreal settings of the dark and dreamy woods, Ron is confronted with visions of his own victims, memories of love, loss, and the inner turmoil that created the man he has become.
