There's Something in the Woods

As a virtual prisoner in her suburban DC home, Rhonda faces a chilling reality: she's failed to protect her gay son, Joey, from the brutality of his own father, Max. As Max's violent hatred escalates, Rhonda's maternal instincts scream for her to act before it's too late.

During an emotional phone call, Rhonda's sister, Elizabeth, offers to shelter Rhonda and Joey when they come to her home in West Virginia for Thanksgiving. But they never arrive. On the drive, a blizzard strands the family in a desolate hollow, and Rhonda and Joey are helpless in the face of Max's murderous intent.

But a glimmering light in the forest sparks hope as they realize they are not alone. Salvation! Setting off into the forest, Rhonda prays they're trudging toward rescue because if not, she knows they face certain death at Max's hand.

Desperate Measures is a gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child, set against the beautiful, haunted Appalachian landscape where the ghosts of ancient secrets and betrayals dwell.
