Night falls, a shadow moves, and nothing will ever be the same again in this truly spine-tingling thriller...

Ida and Maurice Stubbs have never had it easy, but have learned not to expect too much from life. Resigned to their lot, they have survived the death of their baby son, unable even in their grief to reach out to each other. 

Laurie is something of a loner, and keeps himself to himself, with just books and records for company. He spends his days trekking through the valley, his evenings alone. 

And then there is Ronnie. Pregnant and no longer with the baby's father, she too has retreated from the outside world. 

Four individuals, each isolated and independent, each haunted by their own demons -- brought together by a strange creature that stalks the valley, killing livestock and preying on everyone's deepest fears.
