Synopsis

Alexis left her hometown after graduation and never looked back- that is, until she received the news of her grandmother's passing. Reluctant to return to the town and the people who caused her so much pain, Alexis makes the trip anyway, hoping to say her final goodbyes to her grandmother with minimal interactions with anyone else in the forsaken town.

As the demons of her past present themselves to her in full force, Alexis is determined to make it through her grandmother's farewell and return to her new life- far away from here.

Will Alexis be strong enough to survive the brutal reminders of the past, or will they break her once again?
