A devoted schoolteacher risks everything to help a troubled young student with a disturbing secret in this independent thriller from director Justin Price. Angelica has just earned her teaching degree when she travels to a new town with her boyfriend Bryon, and lands a job at a local school. As Angelica gets to know her new students, a withdrawn little girl named Willow catches her attention. In time the concerned teacher breaks though the taciturn student's wall of silence, and learns that Willow and her older sibling Steven face a horror that most children their age can't even imagine. Now in order to save them from a fate worse than death, Angelica must put her career, her reputation, and, quite possibly, her very life on the line.
