The local town folk are afraid to say anything about Riverman. They are reluctant to even tell the tourists about him, for fear of the town losing business. Besides, Riverman hasn't struck in nearly fifty years. He must be gone for good this time, right?
A tourist bus breaks down with severe engine damage just ouside of town and the travellers wander in looking for a place to stay. The townspeople welcome them, but they know that if they stay in town for too long it could bring back a history they've tried to forget.
When the bus driver disappears while working on the engine alone, the locals know that he's only the first case of many to come.
