A small river town Sheriff struggles to quell a town's newly visited violence and keep its past atrocities from repeating themselves, propelling it into a world of damnation.

Will Logans (Kurt Angle) military background didn't prepare him for understanding the crimes of darkness he would investigate as Cedar Springs new Sheriff. Things were calm in his river town until the unexplained, gruesome death of Amy Williams, a local waitress not more than 20 years of age. The name HIX was written on her forehead in her own blood. It's a name that would continue to appear for the Sheriff as he struggles to solve one murder after another. Will is tormented by a local business owner, Clark Higgins (Ray Lloyd/Glacier) for trying to use conventional police work to solve the murders. Higgins has it from the religious oracle Mary Rutledge (Alan Rowe Kelley) that the recent deaths are the revenge of the Jacobs Boys (Kevin Nash, Sid Vicious, Bill Laing) who had been unjustly killed at the river 30 years earlier by a vigilante mob. Logans agnostic beliefs don't help him with Virgil Van (Bingo O'malley) when Logan seeks his advice on the truth behind the Jacobs Boys recent return.

"Then it seems to me you have two rivers to navigate to understand this... one to the past and one toward darkness" Van explains to Logan before asking him to leave. Feeling the townspeople's growing anxiety Logan tracks down the person responsible for the old mob, Harvey Hix (Bill Hinzman) to warn of the upheaval. Set at Hix's reclusive cabin the Sheriff is forced off the property at gunpoint. Not more than a day later Clark Higgins patience runs out and he goes about kidnapping the old codger Hix to return him to the river souls. In a final attempt to save Hix and the towns morality, Logan takes to the river where he ultimately must face his fears.
