The police have captured a suspect wanted in connection with a series of gruesome murders. Do they have the right person or can their murderer be more supernatural? And who is the man in black killer or savoir?
Patrick (Pat) Hannon is an awkward and shy student being raised by his recently divorced mother in the small town of Rockcreek, Texas. He is unsure of where he belongs and how he fit's into main-stream high school life. His identity is wrapped up in his friends for whom he feels that without them he is nothing. He has pledged to leave his small town life behind and make a fresh start somewhere else as soon as he graduates.
Samantha (Sam) is a victim of low self esteem who guards many deep secrets about her and her family. She see's herself as a person not worthy of love and tries to hide herself from others with a tough in-your-face attitude. She like Patrick and Brian because they don't judge her or her way of thinking.
Brian considers himself well liked and well known around his school. His peers think he is hanger-on and wanna-be and is constantly being put down behind his back. He wants respect and power like his older brother had and thinks that being different does it for him. In reality, because he is nothing like his older brother was, his look only makes him seem clownish and stupid which brings more humiliation from his peers. Brian recently lost his older brother in car accident.
