After inheriting some money and property from his grandparents, Sid Evenburg moves to Gun Barrel City Texas. He starts to hear a voice. A voice that threatens to destroy Sid unless he obeys and does what he is told. Sid encounters the local sheriff, a retired FBI profiler, and a psychic, as well as his long lost Uncle who informs Sid of some facts about his past that Sid never knew. Sid tries to frame his Uncle for his own heinous acts while he portends to the investigation of the murders. Ultimately Sid is brought down by the Sheriff, but is it the end of Sid's reign of terror or just the beginning?
