When an associate brings his attention to Silas, Johnny is fascinated and willing to assist Silas with his desires.

Life is hard enough for Amanda and her husband, Hank, managing the ranch and raising two teenage boys, each with their own secrets, and now added to her stress is a movie in shambles.
