"Road Kill"

Tag line: "All roads begin and end at the beach." A childless couple celebrates their 7th anniversary with an annual ritual on the night of the Rose Moon. What begins with a romantic effort to get pregnant ends in a petty argument. Speeding off in the fog from a remote restaurant they hit something. What it is and how they leave it will change their lives forever.
