Dreams The Ragman

As a young boy Derrick listened to his grandfather’s spooky tales of
“The Ragman,” an old junk dealer and boogieman of sorts to the children
in the neighborhood who he claimed had followed him throughout his
entire life and stalked him from the depths of his own worst nightmares.
But as an alcoholic ravaged with senility, his grandfather’s stories
were dismissed as delusions.


When years later, murder comes to Derrick’s small hometown, he and
his best friend Caleb—both teenage outcasts—discover that the killer is a
hobo dressed in rags who rides the rails in and out of town when
committing his crimes. They dub him “The Ragman” unaware of just how
accurate that nickname may be, but the murders are never solved.


As time passes, Derrick weds and settles into a troubled marriage
while Caleb moves to New York City and spirals into drug addiction and
madness. Thirty years later, in a dying seaside resort town, the
killings have begun again. Has The Ragman returned, or is something even
more sinister taking place?


As Derrick and Caleb meet at the scene of the latest grisly murders,
they soon find themselves confronted with an unsolved mystery that has
haunted them for decades and an eternal evil they may never be able to
escape. The rain falls, darkness descends, a train’s whistle blows, and
the Ragman begins to dream...
