Brothers Miles (Drew Roy - Falling Skies) and Liam West (Shane Coffey - Pretty Little Liars) are broke. The family business is bankrupt and they cannot pay the mooring fees for their boat, making them desperate for money. They come up with a plan to fake Miles' disappearance on Sugar Mountain then sell the story when he appears out of the wilderness several days later.

The local sheriff Jim Huxley (Cary Elwes Princess Bride) begins to poke holes in the scheme while local heavy Joe Bright (Jason Momoa - Aquaman) puts on the pressure to recover a personal debt owed by Miles.
