Part 2/8:
The story unfolds during a seemingly ordinary high school baseball game, quickly spiraling into chaos when local resident Rory Hamill charges onto the pitch, brandishing a shotgun. The serene atmosphere shatters as Sheriff David, portrayed as the town's infallible protector, faces a dire situation. In an act of self-defense, David is forced to shoot Rory, igniting a series of tragic events that unravel the town to its core.
As the sheriff grapples with the guilt of his actions and the growing turmoil in Ogden Marsh, he and his wife, Dr. Judy, encounter a series of inexplicable behaviors from the townsfolk. Their apparent madness is not merely local eccentricity but a symptom of something darker—an unknown contagion that spreads from their water supply.
