THE STORY
In a small town plagued by mysterious disappearances
and bizarre incidents, a group of unlikely allies
stumble upon a sinister candy company — YUMMY —
whose dark secrets threaten everything they hold dear.
"When a brilliant scientist arrives under cover of fog to deliver a world-altering invention, he must choose between handing it over to shadowy government agents — or destroying it himself."
Conphidance · Eric Roberts · Jamie Costa · Paul Wilson · Antony Matos
