In the middle of nowhere sits the Armadillo Café. The once popular, but now desolate, café is run by a troubled, booze-addled mother and her disturbed family. Their dark secrets are threatened when Sarah arrives, seeking answers to her past. Turmoil reigns and emotions boil over as the horrifying truth unravels and Sarah barely escapes with her life.

“Secrets, murders and lies... all in the name of family.”
