In the thriller from Smart Mouth Productions, “Amy (Sarah McGuire) and her adopted son Adrian (Patrick McGee) are on the run from Amy’s abusive ex-girlfriend, Judith (Laurie Catherine Winkel). Desperate to stay hidden, they take refuge in the abandoned farmhouse of Amy’s family outside her Kansas hometown.
“Soon, though, a supernatural force from Amy’s dark past begins haunting Adrian. With the vengeful Judith in pursuit, Amy and Adrian find themselves locked in a showdown between the threats both outside and in.”
The cast also includes Paige Maria, Chris Bylsma and Meagan Flynn.
