“Behind the Pines” is set in Johnson City, Tennessee and focuses on Dr. John Livingston III a practicing pain specialist. However, John isn’t just a doctor, he’s also one of Johnson City’s leading opiate distributors, struggling with financial debt and a tormented past.
Making a deal with the city’s largest narcotic drug lord, John finds himself falling prisoner to the pain he devoted a career to cure and finds himself losing the very thing he sought to prolong—life. Unable to fulfill the drug lord’s demands, John quickly finds himself in deep trouble and unable to escape.
