When a struggling country singer is compelled to return to the haunted Kentucky holler where she grew up, she must confront her dark past with her grandfather, the town she fled, and the sinister presence of a long dead witch that will kill to escape. As the darkness heals her scars and reshapes her confidence, bodies pile up, and she must choose who to become. A Southern Gothic folk horror reckoning with artistic ownership and the high cost of being seen.
