DARK AUGUST

Augusta (Gus) Monet is living an aimless existence with her grifter boyfriend when her great grandmother dies. Ditching her guy, Gus returns home to discover that her inheritance is a dilapidated house and an old dog named Levi. While combing through the house, Gus stumbles upon a trunk filled with childhood belongings. Hidden inside are cold case files that belonged to her mother, a disgraced police detective. Determined to finish her mother’s investigation, her search leads her to a ghost town where Gus inadvertently stirs up the evils of the past, hurtling her towards the terrible truth that culminated on a dark August night, a decade earlier, when lives were lost and secrets were presumed buried forever.
