1912 - Carmel, Maine.



When 14-year-old Naomi Etta Mitchell vanished on her walk to the general store, the tiny town of Carmel, ME mobilized overnight. Neighbors scoured the woods, lanterns in hand, until their worst fear was confirmed—Naomi’s body had been found.



Suspicion fell almost immediately on J. Sherman Gray, the man witnesses had seen trailing her that night. But before authorities could close in, Sherman disappeared.



Now, with each passing day, frustration in Carmel was boiling over. If the law didn’t catch Sherman soon, the townspeople were prepared to deliver their own brand of justice, no matter the outcome.
