Dark and chilling, this collection of narrative short films is a solid balance of thriller and horror, perfect for late night viewing.

In a small town in the deep south, several children are abducted. After tireless efforts by determined Detective Greg Morgan, the children are found, but only one is left alive—a young boy named Aaron. Aaron’s traumatic experience leaves him mentally scarred and physically branded with a horrifying cryptic symbol. After nearly sixteen years, however, Morgan encounters Aaron once again. This uncanny “coincidence” pushes Morgan to re-open the case and track down those who were responsible.
