Two friends have kept a dark secret for over twenty years. They were the only ones who saw the evil that hid in the shadows of their hometown. Their childhood ended the night they encountered the demon, barely escaping with their lives. They've come back only to find the evil they thought long dead has been waiting all this time for revenge. Now they're fighting not just for their own lives but also to save the town they love from complete annihilation.
