Welcome to a new psycho thriller that leaves you asking yourself....

DO you dare tempt fate?

For the residents of Castle Hill, Rhode Island, life moves at a steady pace. This small coastal fishing town is home to some of the best Atlantic salmon in the northeast.

For the town of Castle Hill, a myth stays buried among the townspeople; a myth that, over time, has driven men mad. Tempting fate is a risky choice, one that could result in consequences affecting a person’s future. To tempt fate a person must take the hunt, solve the riddle, and grab the coins, but as the townspeople beg…

Don't pay the Ferryman.
