In the search for his missing twin sister, Michael Warren and his sister's coworker, find themselves in a small Kansas town where they catch the attention of combative locals and uncover the dark perversion looming in the outskirts.
* * * * *
Michael Warren likes his life. He sleeps in until noon, runs stock liquor deliveries throughout the heart of Chicago, and then hangs with his friends for drinks deep into the early morning hours. He has no problems beyond himself. A phone call jars Michael awake before work one October afternoon. His estranged mother is asking about his fraternal twin sister, Michelle. She hasn't been heard from for a week. Michael hasn't seen her for nearly two months.The call from his mom-unusual. His sister's absence-not so much. When he receives a call from Michelle later that same day, he learns she's in Kansas. Alone. Afraid. And in trouble; nothing new for her.
Michael dismisses her cries for help but is unable to ever again reach her at the same Kansas number. Stoked by a nagging worry, he reaches out to the few people close to her: her roommate, her ex, and her coworkers. But no one knows anything. This may not be Michelle's usual dramatics for attention; this might be real.
Unable to rest without answers, Michael, along with Mary-a concerned coworker-pack up and leave for the Kansas town where Michelle's call originated. Tight-lipped locals greet them with cold stares and quick dismissals. Michael feels every hour tick by, certain something is quite wrong.
The secrets of Michelle's life collide with Michael's long-held indifference, steering him and Mary straight into a night-long fight for their lives.
