The Devil to Pay is a gripping Appalachian thriller that follows Lemon Cassidy (Danielle Deadwyler), a struggling farmer forced into a deadly moral bargain to protect her young son. When her husband mysteriously disappears, Lemon finds herself trapped in a feud with the ruthless neighboring Kincaid clan, who demand an impossible blood debt from her family. Set in the remote Smoky Mountains, this tense backcountry drama explores themes of survival, maternal ferocity, and the brutal consequences of rural codes of honor.
Written and directed by Lane and Ruckus Skye, the film delivers slow-burning suspense with atmospheric dread, anchored by Deadwyler’s powerful lead performance. As Lemon navigates a gauntlet of violence and superstition, the story unfolds like a dark folk tale, blending Southern Gothic tension with raw, emotional stakes. A lean, mean indie thriller, The Devil to Pay proves that in these hills, redemption comes at a terrible price.
