Description
Derek has always been a runner. He’s spent his life running from his problems, his pain and his past. This time, running involves an actual pair of running shoes — and now he’s running for his life.
On the surface, Derek is a family man with an idyllic life but only he knows the truth. Haunted by his fractured past, repressed rage, dark secrets and the recent tragic death of his infant son, Derek is stuck in a hellish emptiness he can’t seem to escape. Now, his wife is disappearing at night, his career is on the verge of collapse and his own self-destructive behavior is becoming a real threat.
Out of desperation, Derek begins to run and it triggers a series of bizarre events, the emergence of a mysterious medicine man, and opens a portal to his own painful past and a supernatural presence that has him questioning his sanity. The appearance of the entity might be the very thing Derek needs to fix his shattered life…or it may reveal his ultimate destruction.
