[2] Lonely Joe revolves around Michele Connelly (Erica Leerhsen), a New York City reporter who returns to her hometown 10 years after the mysterious murder of her younger brother to investigate and find out what actually happened several years ago.

However, soon after Michele discovers a trail of bodies dating back more than fifty years, she finds herself feeling as if she is part of the story she is investigating.

[3] Lonely Joe began production in October 2007, in the towns of Solvay, Syracuse, Elbridge, and Geddes, New York.

[6] Doing her own stunts for the film, Erica Leerhsen was nearly hit by the train used in the dream sequence when she lost her balance and lunged forward.

Her scene was shot with her only 12 inches from the side of the train as it passed by at 30 miles per hour.
