Jeff tells the story of the murders at Corpsewood Manor in Chattooga County, Georgia. It’s the nearly unbelievable tale of two gay men who moved to rural Georgia in the late 1970s to live a quiet, solitary life. But their dream of peace and isolation tragically backfires.

Dr. Scudder and Joey Odom become the victims of their own haunting story — one steeped in murder, satanic symbols, government LSD, societal judgment, fear of the “other,” failed escapism, and the destructive consequences of greed and misunderstanding.
