A legend comes to life.
​
1735. Leeds Point, New Jersey. A weary woman discovers she is pregnant with her thirteenth child. In a moment of despondence, she curses the unborn that it may be a devil. On the night the baby enters the world, no one in the room is left alive to tell the tale.
​
2005. Thirteen-year-old Patrick Shourds and his friend encounter a creature in the Pine Barrens. Unable to believe what they are seeing, they flee, but only Patrick emerges from the woods alive. In the weeks that follow, the young man becomes a pariah in his community, ultimately driving him away.
​
2025. Patrick reluctantly returns to Leeds Point after the death of his mother, fearing that his homecoming will dredge up the horrors of his past. Shortly after his arrival, a string of disappearances rock the small town that again sets its sights on Patrick as the prime suspect.
