Cam Malenfont is plagued by nightmares of grisly violence and unthinkable creatures made of dirt and stone. In his dreams, the earth has come viciously alive. Cam is beginning to think that his visions are real and that mankind is about to be swallowed whole. He has to find a way to stop it. It's the right thing to do.

Lanny Bells has his own demons. But when he saves a man left for dead, he hopes an act of kindness will drive those demons away. Helping others can't be wrong. Or can it? Death is sometimes the natural order, and now Nature itself wants Lanny as payment.

Lanny and Cam will soon discover that sometimes doing the right thing is wrong.
