Inspired by a true story, this supernatural thriller for fans of horror and true crime follows a tale as it evolves every twenty yearsโ€”with terrifying results. Ella Louise has lived in the woods surrounding Pilotโ€™s Creek, Virginia, for nearly a decade. Publicly, she and her daughter Jessica are shunned by their upper-crust family and the Pilotโ€™s Creek residents. Privately, desperate townspeople visit her apothecary for a cure to what ails themโ€”until Ella Louise is blamed for the death of a prominent customer. Accused of witchcraft, both mother and daughter are burned at the stake in the middle of the night. Ella Louiseโ€™s burial site is never found, but the little girl has the most famous grave in the South: a steel-reinforced coffin surrounded by a fence of interconnected white crosses. Their story will take the shape of an urban legend as itโ€™s told around a campfire by a man forever marked by his boyhood encounters with Jessica. Decades later, a boy at that campfire will cast Amber Pendleton as Jessica in a โ€™70s horror movie inspired by the Witch Girl of Pilotโ€™s Creek. Amberโ€™s experiences on that set and its meta-remake in the โ€™90s will ripple through pop culture, ruining her life and career after she becomes the target of a witch hunt. Amberโ€™s best chance to break the cycle of horror comes when a true-crime investigator tracks her down to interview her for his popular podcast. But will this final act of storytelling redeem herโ€”or will it bring the story full circle, ready to be told once again? And again. And againโ€ฆ
