In the seemingly idyllic small town of Trinity, South Carolina, resides a sinister secret veiled behind its quaint facade. The town's charismatic sheriff, Lucas Buck, holds an iron grip on his territory, wielding supernatural powers to bend the will of the townfolk, nudging them towards the precipice of malevolent choices. His nefarious past, stained with unspeakable acts of murder and violation, remains a chilling mystery to most. In the midst of this quiet horror lives young Caleb Temple, a boy grappling with the traumatic losses of his family under the shadow of suicide and murder. Unbeknownst to Caleb, his life is inextricably tied to Lucas Buck, his biological father, conceived in an act of horrific violence. Lucas, with his malefic intent, seeks to corrupt the innocent Caleb, drawing him into a chilling dance of destiny and deception. However, Lucas's plans face formidable roadblocks. Caleb's new protector, the intrepid reporter Gail Emory, who is also his adult cousin, is embroiled in her own quest for the truth. She's investigating the mysterious deaths of her parents, her eyes slowly opening to Lucas's dark reign. Meanwhile, Lucas is haunted by the spectral presence of his sister Merlyn, whose ghostly interference adds another layer of intrigue to this tangled web of power and secrecy.
