The story centers around Chase Hunter, as he returns to his hometown of Echo to complete a school project surrounding the town's history. He is joined by five of his childhood friends, who take advantage of the opportunity to have a reunion. Things are not like they were, however, as time drives a wedge between old friends. Events soon spiral out of control, and Chase's reunion is plagued by rising tensions and disturbing occurrences as past tragedies loom large. Haunted by forces both internal and external, Chase and his friends are forced to confront both the secrets of the town, and their own past. 

We're currently seeking out roles in batches (Starting with the friend group.), Ive already casted Chase and Flynn, but everyone else is open.
