Near Miss

Everything in Centerpoint was pretty dull...until evil found it!

Sheriff Jeylend Folks used to have an easy beat. He was back in the small town he grew up in, had a lovely wife, and a faithful dog. He couldn’t be happier.

Now, things are spiralling out of control, and he is way out of his comfort zone! A sudden and shocking rise in accidents has swept the town, and no one is immune. From broken cups to broken bones, it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed.

What is causing all this? Who is the mysterious salesman who arrived just before everything went wrong? Why did old Mr Jenson suddenly reappear after living behind closed doors for over 15 years?

Slacker Sam Pepper knows the truth, but there are two problems with this: No one would ever believe him, and he’d have to admit it was all his fault, both of which keep him silent.

With some using the situation for their own gain, some controlled by it, and others doing their best to figure out the mystery, it all comes down to the good in people versus the evil in others.
