a historical sin. An oath long forgotten. A community where the secret is lethal. In Hyde River, a remote mining community nestled in the Pacific Northwest mountains, a dark force is at work. Something malevolent. A predator appears out of nowhere under the cover of darkness, taking lives in the most terrifying and brutal ways.
The people of Hyde River watch in horror as locals abruptly disappear. Sworn to concealment by the unspoken misdeeds of their ancestors, the villagers, however, become increasingly reticent the more they are pushed for answers.
The real threat won't become completely apparent until Hyde River's secrets are uncovered. The village finds something much deadlier than they could have ever imagined. Something that not only stalks its victims but also has the ability to progressively fill their souls with darkness and make hearts black with rot.
