Bulwark is a small town in Georgia, and contrary to popular belief, it isn’t as quiet and peaceful as it once was. The Sheriff of the small town, Clay Finnes, is either in denial of what's happening around him or he is too distracted with thoughts about Jenna, wondering if she will come back to him. His marriage broke apart after his daughter fell victim to a cruel abduction. While Clay may never find the answers to why his life has spiraled out of control, one thing remains certain: his visit to the Gingerbread House will change his life forever. A car accident has the Sheriff report to the crime scene. When the ambulance fails to make it, Clay decides to drive an injured couple to the hospital. Unfortunately, the lady does not survive, but before she passes, she mumbles a few words that are bound to make this investigation a lot trickier and maybe even bloody.
