THE STORY
Seven years after Brady's father was killed in a tragic hunting accident, he just wants to get far away from his broken home life with a rebellious twin sister, absentee mother and creep of a stepfather.
But a dark secret and impulsive decision will set off a horrific chain of events.
Deep in the woods behind Brady’s house sits a cave. Inside lurks something vicious. A creature that isn’t supposed to exist. When Brady discovers the beast’s true nature, he sees an opportunity and strikes a Faustian bargain to exact overdue revenge.
ONE KILL IN EXCHANGE FOR FREEDOM.
Setting his bloody plan in motion, Brady will learn that a beast cannot be caged. It will rip apart anything in its path.
Brady didn't believe in monsters. But he does now.
YOU WILL TOO.
