The man behind the wheel smiles as he spots seventeen-year-old Edsell Jones stumbling out of a house and drunkenly lumbering down the street. Moments later, the man pulls up next to Edsell and convinces him to take his offer of a ride. Soon, the van is lost within the darkness of the Pine Barrens. When Lorraine Jones arrives at home the next morning after working the night shift, she discovers Edsell has disappeared. She calls the police, then makes a desperate plea to Edsells friends, begging them to help find her son.

In this fast-paced thriller, two teenagers unearth a fiery hell from which heroes will rise to fight an enemy larger than they ever thought possible.
