A high school student finds himself miles from home, his constitution and willpower put to the test. A researcher searches for his nephew, his knowledge of the town's local history the only lead toward ending the madness. When the world shrinks around you, the monsters come, and all that's left is an unbending will to survive, who will emerge as the true heroes, and who will be marked as the villains?
