The story centers around the bizarre and obsessive relationship between a dead State Trooper’s son and the troopers mysterious vintage buick automobile.

The script will be adapted by actor/screenwriter/director Johnathon Schaech (”The Poker Club,” “Masters of Horror”) and Richard Chizmar (”Heroes“).
