In the remote desert town of Blackwood, the residents have endured a merciless drought for years. As the land cracks and the hope of survival fades, salvation arrives in the form of a long-awaited storm. But with the rain comes something far more terrifying than the dead, once buried in the dry earth, rise again, reanimated by the moisture they crave.
As the relentless storm grows stronger, the town is besieged by the Husks—withered, corpse-like creatures hunting the living for their life-sustaining fluids. Led by James Clay, a reluctant and battle-weary leader, the survivors must band together to fend off the onslaught. But with each passing hour, the Husks become faster, more aggressive, and more determined to drain the last drops of life from the survivors.
With the town crumbling around them, James and his companions face a desperate race against time to find safety. But in this storm-swept nightmare, no place is truly safe, and the desert holds secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Will they survive the night, or will the storm consume them all? Husks is a gripping, atmospheric tale of survival, sacrifice, and the terrifying things that can rise from the dry, cracked earth.
