Inspired by the horrific Mann family murders of spring 1988, Garden Valley follows two friends lost in a haze of hard rock, reckless choices, drugs, and volatile romance. Set against the bleak landscape of the Garden Valley trailer park on San Antonio’s Southside, the story unfolds over one fateful day—April 14, 1988—when their lives descend into chaos, obsession, and the lingering psychological shadows of violence.

A thriller that follows Galen Lopez, a non-binary witch, years after their mother's tragic death, and weeks after a traumatic breakup. On social media and for clients, Galen puts on a happy go lucky facade, while inside they're doing their best to piece their life back together. Encouraged by their loving coven mother to stop their antidepressants in order to connect more with the spiritual realm, Galen begins having visions of the future. Not her future, crimes that are about to happen. Everything comes to a head when Galen sees their ex girlfriend Katelyn being attacked. Will they be able to stop it from happening? Or will they see it too late?
