We're all running from something.

A moody small-town mystery that weaves together a rekindled romance, family trauma, and buried secrets, anchored by themes of redemption and escape.
Dives into the often ignored seedy underbelly of Maine and it follows Emma Maddox as she returns to her hometown years following the mysterious death of her brother, Mikey.
