The barn on Alvin West's land houses a dark secret. It's the reason the crops grow so lushly on the farmland, while the surrounding farms lay barren. It's the reason the people of Reaper's Bend always speak of his family in hushed tones. Carson Reid is new in town. A fledgling journalist still living with her parents, she sees the lore surrounding the West property and how it affects her new neighbors as fodder for what could be her breakout story. When an ill-fated trip to the property inadvertently releases the entity contained in the barn, she plunges herself and the town's population into a desperate fight for survival. From the twisted imagination of Lucas Mangum comes a gruesome tale of diabolical evil.
