A failing script writer is given one last chance to save his career, yet at what cost?

The year is 1869, and Hell has scratched its way into post-Civil War Virginia. Murders become common, talk and fear crush the region. With hope and morality slipping from the inhabitants of Hatchet County, they call on a rogue legion of heroes to drive the evil back to where it came.

It's Friday night. Freddy and Betsey meet at a library and hit it off. They decide to go on a dinner date. Dan and Mia are the third wheels.
