A local farmer is murdered. He was a man rumored to have knowledge of the location of the Lost Treasure of Belle Starr...and its curse; a curse that’s said to involve a forest demon taken from local Native American lore called “Hill Man who screams at night.”
Local legends Hayward Yost and Socrates Ninekiller suspect two renegade bikers of the murder. Others in the community are drawn into the mystery – a Wiccan who moves to town to pursue her New Age lifestyle; her bumbling, socially inept boyfriend women can’t seem to resist; a young Iraqi War veteran home to heal his physical and emotional wounds…
