Actors: Marci Miller, Jake Ryan Scott, Sara Moore, Mary Kathryn Bryant
PlotRuth, a young woman who escaped from a murderous child cult in Nebraska, has been on the run for the past decade. She aims to protect her son Aaron from her traumatic past and give him a better life. Settling temporarily in a small Oklahoma town, Ruth hopes they can find some semblance of normalcy. While living under the radar, she finds work as a mechanic and Aaron enrolls in school, quickly befriending one of the local children. Despite Ruth's efforts to keep their past hidden, she remains haunted by horrific visions and memories of the cult's sinister rituals, which begin to interfere with her daily life.
As Ruth struggles to maintain her sanity, strange occurrences in the town begin to mirror the macabre events she fled from years ago. Signs suggest that someone, or something, from her past may have found them. Complicating matters, Aaron grows increasingly curious about his mother's secretive behavior and their constant moving. Unbeknownst to Ruth, her attempts at normal life put both her and Aaron at risk of being dragged back into the darkness she once escaped. As these dangers loom closer, Ruth faces the pressing challenge of whether to confront her past head-on or continue running to protect her son.
