The Auctioneer
In the quiet town of Harlowe, New Hampshire, John and Mim Moore work their family farm just as their ancestors did. Their peaceful life begins to erode when a charismatic newcomer named Perly Dunsmore starts hosting local auctions that slowly strip the community of their property and rights. What starts as a request for donations turns into a terrifying campaign of extortion that threatens to destroy everyone in its path.
