In the silent town of Linden, Minnesota, an ancient evil lies in wait in its infernal pit, under the cemetery. Even though its corporal form lies in wait, its spirit haunts one of the oldest houses in town. Driven by great sorrow, and the evil's influence, a troubled young man performs the ritual which awakens it. All hell breaks loose in the peaceful town as people begin disappearing. Only a group of kids stands in the way of the relentless evil, and they are running out of time. Facing overwhelming odds, the town's bullies, and sometimes their own parents, they have to find a way to fight it, and put an end to the terror it causes. Some of the town's adults, who had faced the evil before, join them in the fight. Will they be able to defeat it, or will they fall prey to the one who walks among the graves?
