Something evil has been haunting the town of Hope for decades, leaving mysterious disappearances and bloody killings in its wake.
Some believe there's some kind of creature or monster lurking somewhere deep in Black Woods or Blackwater Swamp out on the outskirts of town; some believe that Black Woods itself is haunted; and still others believe that those are all just rumors, folklore, old wives' tales—after all, nobody's ever seen...whatever it is (and lived to tell about it, anyway)...
But when a young boy comes face to face with the beast and miraculously survives, then the hunt is on...but what the hunters discover is much bigger, and much deeper, and much more ancient than anyone in Hope had ever imagined...
