Blind trust leads to betrayal.

Determined to protect the natural beauty of Eagle Beak Lake from homebuilders, while also protecting his lucrative meth lab and pot farm, Stan Barstow, a local short-order cook, sets fire to newly built lakeview houses to scare away prospective buyers. To gain fame and fortune, he films the wanton destruction with the intention of making a docudrama to sell to Hollywood. Kyle Barstow, a television reporter, very much wants to relocate to Chicago, and become a part of a forensics task force as a crime scene photographer. He offers to make a recording of the burning buildings in order to hone his skills in film and digital photography. To finance the expensive move to Illinois, he becomes involved in Stan's drug business without his knowledge or consent.

When one of the brothers is shot and killed, the other moves quickly to think up a new get-rich-quick scheme, unaware that someone from Danhem Construction Company has been watching them from the very beginning.

So who's watching Paige Danhem as she knocks on the door of a spooky rundown house on a small, hog farm in the middle of nowhere?
