What would you do if you stumbled upon a secret that could destroy your family’s business, ruin your chances at love, and completely upend your community? When a teenager in rural Georgia makes a gruesome discovery in the woods, he finds himself contending with these monumental questions.
Based on actual events, "Sahkanaga" is an unusual
