The soil must be replenished ...

With the news of his estranged father's death, Eli Warren does the one thing he swore he'd never do: he returns home—to the idyllic and prosperous farming town of Armenia, Washington. And to the bad memories residing there.

To Eli's shock, Armenia is a virtual ghost town, the once fertile and prolific farmland now barren and diseased. But unlike the blighted farms, the massive blackberry briar bordering the properties is thriving ... alive.

The few remaining residents of Armenia are delighted Eli has come home ... and so is the sinister thing that awaits him in the briar.

For these fields never lie fallow. They only feed.

And the soil must be replenished.
