In the haunting depths of the Mississippi river valley, RIVERLIGHT weaves a tale of cosmic terror and human frailty. Christopher Bledsoe, a weathered riverboat worker and broken father, lives in solitude after the mysterious disappearance of his wife and daughters two decades ago—a disappearance he claims was caused by a UFO and otherworldly beings. Mocked and outcast by his small river town, Chris’s story is dismissed as drunken ramblings and sinister lies. But when a mass UFO sighting rocks the community, long-buried secrets resurface, forcing everyone to confront the unthinkable.

Through interwoven timelines and harrowing flashbacks, RIVERLIGHT explores themes of loss, guilt, and the desperate lengths one man will go to for redemption. Set against the eerie backdrop of the Mississippi River and its fog-draped islands, the story crescendos into a cosmic battle between a father’s enduring hope and the malevolent horrors that answer his call.

A gripping fusion of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Hellraiser, RIVERLIGHT is an odyssey of terror, sacrifice, and unearthly wonder. Will the truth buried in the black waters save the town, or will the haunting melody of grief condemn them all?
