The people of Meridian have a secret-one they'll do anythingto keep. More than 20 years have passed since that deadly day in the small farming community of Meridian, Missouri. On that day, one of the darkest in the town's history, blood was spilled and a secret was born. In the decades since, the townsfolk have worked together to keep the gruesome details of what happened hidden away from an increasingly curious world. But now, with a former resident threatening to expose the secret and all those who have been complicit in keeping it, they work together toward a new goal-one that sets up a single member of the community to take the fall. Mel Goggins has dedicated his life to protecting the town's secret. He's worked tirelessly and selflessly throughout the years in order to maintain the status quo in the tiny town, although it meant sacrificing his marriage and losing pieces of himself along the way. Even now, as the lies and the cover-ups come tumbling down around him, he continues to fight to keep the secret they've all sworn to protect. But when he realizes that the other residents have turned against him, Mel retaliates explosively, revealing the truth on his own terms and finally putting an end to the nightmare once and for all.
