S1E9 | The Long Way Round | Tales From The Hollow

Story 9 of Season 1 of Tales from The Hollow

Cole Decker is a long-haul trucker stranded on a back road in Grindstone Hollow. Dorothy Reeves is a county records clerk who drove out Old Mill Road telling herself she was just checking on something. When both end up at Ironwood Retreat on the same sweltering July weekend, the hollow takes notice. It doesn't break the wards. It doesn't force the doors. It finds what people carry inside themselves and walks right through. Frank Harmon has kept this watch for nine years. He does everything right. This weekend is different. What you carry will find you.
