Inhabited

Ben is the only cop in the small Midwestern town of Dry Creek and is an unlikely solver of violent crimes. Mysterious deaths, marked by a sign of a white cross, baffle not only Ben but also the police in the nearest city. The autopsies indicate a lack of oxygen is the cause of the deaths, but there is no presence of a gas. Ben is slow to admit his bucolic town could harbor a serial killer. An eerie luminescent fog often hovers over Dry Creek and Ben himself is threatened. His love for Dry Creek makes him determined to rid the town of its malice even if it means his own life.
