Sheriff Wolfe believes a silent predator walks among them.

When the body of a missing woman is found near the lake, the Rhone County sheriff is drawn into the most perilous case of his career.

He exhausts every conventional method for solving the crime. The investigation comes to a standstill. Not long after a mysterious black van is seen prowling the back roads four more residents vanish. The townsfolk are frightened. They believe Point Jove is harboring an intruder with a deadly, dark secret.

The sheriff suspects the victims are tied to the last surviving member of the county's namesake when he senses the woman he loves is being held against her will at the Rhone's creepy old estate.
