It Comes Back

It knows what you did... It will use it against you. Everyone feels guilty about something. Some people's guilt is small, but others aren't so lucky. Some people are forced to live every day knowing they let a person they loved die. Officer Bianca Vale is not one of the lucky ones. After his wife is stabbed seven times in the back, Ray Cutter is arrested and detained at the Yucca Valley police station as the obvious suspect. Bianca, fresh off another failed date, takes on the night shift simply biding her time until the San Bernardino police pick up Ray and transport him to prison. However, what begins as a routine detention for Bianca and her colleagues quickly escalates as a sinister force manifests itself as each officer's greatest regret and picks them off one by one. Bianca is not the only person at the police station racked with guilt and when the officers are forced to come to terms with their own pasts, no one is safe. Especially when the police station loses all contact with the outside world. If Bianca hopes to make it through the night, the only key might be Ray himself.
