Basements are always an entry portal for evil.
For eight-year-old Andy Bennington, the phrase invades his mind just before the appearance of a small puddle of water on his basement floor.
Just water, nothing scary about water.
The little fright is forgotten, and the normalcy of life intervenes.
For eight-year-old Andy Bennington, the phrase invades his mind just before the appearance of a small puddle of water on his basement floor.
Just water, nothing scary about water.
The little fright is forgotten, and the normalcy of life intervenes.
Then a nightmare and an accidental death follow soon after.
Thus begins a two-decade odyssey of normal life experiences with sports, girlfriends, and family dynamics. Intermixed are episodes of fear, forgotten events, and failed connections.
Always at the center is a small puddle of water, dreams, and death.
As a teen, family secrets are unveiled by a grandfather suffering from dementia. The myth of a legendary bluesman, fabulous wealth, and a strange jar becomes Andy's inheritance and curse. Later in life, a mysterious woman from his grandparent's past torments his dreams, demands recompense, and threatens his future. Devices to forget the past and bury the fear can no longer be applied.
He must act or lose it all
The water on the floor, the water in the jar: the path to salvation or sacrifice?
