About Those Across the River

In 1930s Georgia, failed academic Frank Nichols arrives in Whitbrow to research his family’s ruined plantation and rebuild his life with Eudora. Beneath the town’s charm lies a ritual dread tied to the Savoyard estate across the river, where something has waited for generations and still demands payment.
