Nearly two decades ago a charismatic man called Colin
controlled an isolated community hidden in foothills north
of San Francisco in what was supposed to be a life free of
materialism. Instead, Colin turned The Refuge into a mass
grave as he completed a sinister plan to exterminate his
followers—all except three children, who slipped through his
fingers and escaped with his secrets.
Today,
Nick Board and the two beautiful sisters, Sarah and Aurelie,
who escaped with him, are living quietly under the radar in
the little bayou town of Point Judah, Louisiana. But when
the bodies at The Refuge are uncovered, the nightmare of the
past forces the friends out into the open. To survive, they
must stay one step ahead of the man who has been waiting for
them to surface. Driven by greed and anger, he intends them
to take his secrets to their graves.
