In a 90s-era Kentucky fueled by sex, drugs, and violence, the Cunninghams will stop at nothing to find _The Temple,_ a place of unimaginable wealth and glory. To unlock its secrets, they imprison victims in their garage, each kidnapping leading them closer to their coveted prize.

_"We're gonna find it, Daddy..."_

_"The Temple..."_

But dark secrets threaten to tear the family apart. **Rhonda**, the eldest daughter, harbors a thirst for violence that may jeopardize everything. **Bill**, her father, struggles to balance parenthood with the brutal demands of their Quest. Then there's **Bobby**, the current prisoner, who may be more dangerous than they realize...

Meanwhile, in the 1970s, a young Bill embarks on a violent rise to power. Driven by prophetic dreams, he forms a ruthless "Posse" determined to rule the Tri County. Standing in his way are the Smoketown Boys, led by **Tommy Glick,** a rival haunted by visions of his dead brother and a place called _"The Temple."_ In the battle for dominance, both sides spiral deeper into a conflict they can't control; a warning of the horrors in Bill's family's future.

**Two timelines. One family. One destiny.**

**\*\*WARNING\*\* 18+ Readers Only. Graphic content and subject matter.**
