What happens in The Town That Takes trailer?

The trailer introduces Cloak & Dagger star Miles Mussenden as an Army veteran who, after her ex-wife’s funeral, unexpectedly winds up at a remote town haunted by the legendary mystery surrounding the word “Croatoan.” The video offers a glimpse of the terrifying things that he’ll encounter in the strange town. The cast also includes Mike Markoff (Hit Man), Grace Patterson (Slotherhouse), and Britt Bankhead (Insane Like Me).

The Town That Takes blends supernatural terror and emotional family drama. It is written and directed by Bankhead, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jon Blaze. The story is inspired by the mystery of the word “Croatoan,” the only clue left behind after the disappearance of the colony of Roanoke. It is considered one of America’s most enduring mysteries. The film is executive-produced by Bankhead and Patterson.

“The film follows Dean Richardson, a troubled Army veteran living alone in Georgia, who travels to North Carolina following the sudden death of his ex-wife. After the funeral, he brings his estranged twelve-year-old son, Wyatt, home with him in hopes of rebuilding their fractured relationship. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they stop in a small backwoods town haunted by whispers surrounding the mysterious word ‘Croatoan.’ After encountering unsettling locals and witnessing increasingly strange events, Dean finds himself caught in a growing nightmare when a motel clerk is found brutally murdered, and he becomes the prime suspect,” reads the official synopsis.

“As veteran Detective Douglas O’Shea and rookie Detective St. Clair investigate a series of unexplained deaths connected to the area, evidence begins pointing to something far more sinister than a simple murder case. Reports of impossible attacks, missing persons, and strange encounters spread throughout the county while Wyatt suddenly disappears. Forced into an uneasy alliance with O’Shea, Dean races to find his son and uncover the truth behind the legend of Croatoan before an ancient evil claims another victim.”
