Synopsis

What would you do if your town was infested with demons? Eden, Indiana. When Katherine Adamson returns to her idyllic hometown, everything has changed. The once peaceful town now has a deep evil boiling under the surface. Already it's threatening to escape. Two well–loved high school teens have disappeared, with a running car and a bloody shoe the only clues to their whereabouts. Strange lights have appeared over a local farm, leaving behind only blackened circles. The town's leaders are being blackmailed, and one has committed suicide. Katy has returned to settle her aunt's estate, but she finds herself battling a host of evil she never would have imagined.
