Theo’s bloody belongings are discovered in the mountains next to a creek with a suicide note, but her body is nowhere to be found. It is up to Detective Stanley and Detective Hobbs try to unravel the mystery, and it becomes apparent that Theo had come out as gay just weeks before she vanished. With each clue found, more questions arise, and the detectives begin to suspect that not everything is what it appears to be in Zion Creek. A story of love, loss, vice, and choices, City of Salt jumps back and forth in time to reveal what happened to Theo and demonstrates just how far people will go to bury what’s been latent underneath the surface.[/om_agenda_item][/om_agenda_day][om_agenda_day title=”Day 3″ date=”Nov 21, 2020″][om_agenda_item icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-users” time=”10:00 am” title=”Pitchfest” room=”Manifest Room”][/om_agenda_item][om_agenda_item icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-users” time=”1:00 pm” title=”TBA Screening” room=”Manifest Room”][/om_agenda_item][om_agenda_item icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-video-camera” time=”7:00 pm” title=”Utah Film Awards” room=”Manifest Room”][/om_agenda_item][/om_agenda_day][/om_agenda]
