At the same time, her connection with her sister is growing as she starts to unearth new information about who she was and what happened that night all those years ago. The three haunted souls soon find themselves on a melancholic journey for truth set against the backdrop of an approaching Halloween season and the anniversary of her sister’s disappearance.“Autumn Road” was produced by Xander McCabe under his new The Last Motel banner while Eric Floyd and Mark Schultz served as executive producers. Riley Cusick directed from his own script.
