It has been five years since the war ended but he is still haunted by his time in the service. And now, after a series of tragic events occur, the town is anything but peaceful and welcoming.

If so, he starts to question his sanity and his abilities as a doctor. Can a man of science put his faith in the supernatural? Will his place of birth give up its dark secrets, connecting the events of the present with its violent and tragic past?
