A dark crime thriller built on layered deception and mistaken identity, where a psychopath's arrival in a corrupt small town collides with an existing murder plot.

After a psychopath murders a man who was on his way to a job as a deputy sheriff in a small California town, he assumes the deputy's identity and arrives in town to start his new 'job'. What he doesn't know is that the recently appointed sheriff and his mistress are plotting to murder her evil husband—and blame it on the new deputy.
