ABOUT THE SHOW
In York Walker's "COVENANT" - In this town, a good myth might as well be the truth.
Johnny “Honeycomb” James comes back home famous, changed, and impossible to explain.
The voice is real, but the rumors are loud.
In a town that remembers everything and forgives nothing, his return cracks open old stories and new accusations.
Soon no one can agree on what’s true, only on what feels true enough to believe.
Walker's "COVENANT" is a Southern Gothic thriller about myth-making, moral panic, and the stories people choose when the truth is too inconvenient.
