The sight of brutally dismembered bodies is becoming disturbingly commonplace in a place where this sort of crime was once unthinkable. All the townspeople know is that a dangerous predator keeps striking from the shadows and that no one is safe from its insatiable appetites. There have been a few sightings, but no one can really describe what theyve seen. What appears at first glance to be a gray man shifts into something far more elusive upon closer inspection.
With the help of a horse she rescues and the wayward spirit of her Confederate soldier great-grandfather, two most unlikely championsthe towns veterinarian and her young daughteremerge. Hoping to make a deal and solve the mystery, the vets daughter makes a strange deal with a powerful yet shy entity whose true intentions are as mysterious as the deaths.
