KERR

KERR

CAN is a sole witness of a murder in the town where he came for the funeral of his old father. The murderer showing no interest in CAN's presence quits the place, calmly. The police he applied then, doesn't allow him to leave after his testimony. He meets various strange friends of his father in the town where he's trapped thereafter and some weird things happen right after another. On the other hand, a quarantine is declared due to rabid dogs being at large. The whole town turns into purgatory with no exit is almost at the edge of insanity.
