Timberline Road

In Rennick, Oregon, Vern Tully drives a service van people see every week. Keith Blackwood has been welcomed back into his relatives house more times than anyone can count. Marty Danner used to manage Dara Vanderveens acting jobs. Each man has a place in someones life before anyone has reason to fear him.

In 1981, seventeen-year-old Scott Dresser walks home from work along Timberline Road and disappears. His blue lunch pail is found below an abandoned scale house. Deputy Danny Cord searches the road, while records clerk Kitt MacInnis checks Tullys route sheets. Someone has changed the times. Then Kitt finds older files on young people who vanished near roads Tully drove.

Danny and Kitt make an arrest. Two years later, a dispute over family land brings Keith to the Blackwood house before dawn on a Monday. By the time the towns mill workers are driving to work, five members of the family are dead.

Dara has made it to Los Angeles, where shes finally getting steady acting work. Marty is still booking jobs in her name and billing her for money she doesnt owe. Daras mother holds the original agreement in Oregon, but Marty wants Dara to meet him in person.

Scotts parents wait for news of their son. Nora Blackwood returns to a house she can barely recognize. In Los Angeles, Dara has a career and a life with Alma that she means to keep.
