An abandoned town hidden deep in the Appalachian rust belt, Poage, Kentucky, harbors secrets so dark that they’ve been erased from history… at least, that's what the authorities want you to believe. Once a booming city, Poage fell to ruin after the terror of the Boyd County Cutthroat, a ruthless serial killer who tore apart lives and left the town drowning in fear, forcing residents to flee.
The city is now a ghostly memory, but for one survivor's child, the horror isn't over yet. Find out why Poage disappeared, and why you should pray you never find its remnants…
