A young man risks his own life to seek the truth about his past, which will either destroy him or set him free.
While learning how to cope with a tragedy that took place in the haunted wetlands of Sinclair Leprieur, Louisiana, Henry Burl escapes through the music of one particular musician who, not only projects a similar sentiment as Henry when he pours his heart out into every song, but also embodies the tormented spirit of a true artist exploring the darkest corners of one's self. The enigmatic, provocative, flamboyant, and often controversial musician is Mr. Vortex. Henry's dreams of being a musician, like his idol, Mr. Vortex, soon trend toward reality when one day on the way home from school he is drawn to a rare Jagger saxophone with the initials, H.M., behind the window of a local pawnshop. The saxophone is eerily close to the one that Mr. Vortex plays; however, what Henry doesn't know-at least not until he plays the saxophone for the very first time-is that the instrument has unexplainable powers. After another event, which brings to light a disturbing string of unsolved cases that involve missing children, Henry has no other choice than to confront the demons of his dark past, as well as uncover the origins of the mysterious saxophone, which are much closer to home than Henry could ever imagined.
