1940's, rural Tennessee
Nathan Winer, a young and headstrong carpenter who lost his father years ago to a human evil that is greater and closer at hand than any the boy can imagine - until he learns of it first-hand.
Amber Rose is a beautiful young woman forced to live beneath that evil who recognizes even as a child that Nathan is her first and last chance at escape.
William Tell Oliver is a solitary old man who watches the growing evil from the dark woods and adds to his own weathered guilt by failing to do anything about it.
