An ancient enemy plots in the shadows.

In 1960, a quaint vacation town in the Smoky Mountains was torn apart by a mysterious explosion. People who'd lived there for generations were forced to leave, turning their beloved home into a ghost town.

Until, under the cover of night, someone else moved in. Or perhaps something.

Six decades later, the surrounding towns have fallen into a state of neglect and decay, forgotten by the outside world. In places like this, it's easy for people to go missing. But dozens of people? Hundreds?

Detective Tristan Sidders seems to be the only person keeping track, and he has a strange theory to explain the disappearances. He believes a powerful mob rules these mountains and that every misfortune ties back to them.

Only Hyla and Lizeth Frontenac will listen to Sidders, but the more they listen, the closer this mysterious mob moves in. And then a strange old man appears, spouting threats and prophecies too bizarre to be believed.

Prophecies that threaten the entire world.
