Ray Steppin, a small-town sheriff in the mountains of Syzygy County Alaska is awakened early one morning with a hangover of steep proportions. He's summoned to the gruesome crime scene where a bevy of bodies have been found at a remote cabin; and one is still breathing. As the investigation deepens and night begins to fall, it becomes more and more clear that what Ray and his deputies (and the local coroner/priest) are up against isn't natural and that nothing is what it seems.
