Brian Strauss is a young father who secretly doubts his ability to protect his wife and son. Joanna Welling is a woman who does not recognize love if it lacks qualities of pain or domination. Carl Lowden is a man who sees himself slowly drifting out of the lives of the people he treasures most. All three are being stalked by beasts that live in the dark regions of the human mind, and all three will be called upon to face their fears...even as a new predator emerges from the dusky gloom of the Georgia lowcountry.
