Strange things roam the mountains of Hayton County where tourists, and sometimes locals, go missing on a regular basis. Uncovering its secrets might be something best left alone.
Due to her father’s recent over-protection, and a fascination with the paranormal, Mandy Jensen doesn’t have a lot of friends. On the day she receives a picture of a creepy looking creature crouched deep in the woods of Hayton County on her cellphone, she meets Abe Abernathy who is running from a mysterious past. The unlikely pair team up to investigate the creature. What they find is a whole mess of trouble. Someone doesn’t want them snooping around upon the mountain, and they’ll use any means to keep them out.
Abe arrived in Hayton County with his mother, praying his father won’t find them this time. The plan is to lay low and not make any friends – friends don’t fare well in his world. Mandy enters his life, but he can’t seem to keep his distance. When his past threatens her life, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her.
Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.
