After years of living in L.A., pretty young widow Karen Spellman and her two daughters are leaving urban chaos behind to return to the lush, verdant countryside of Karen's childhood, where she plans to marry her high school sweetheart. But their newfound bliss will soon turn to terror...
Something sinister awaits the Spellmans. Something so hideous it seems not earthly, but spawned in hell. For here, long ago, amid placid rolling fields, a shadowymenace once stalked the innocent. Dormant, it waits-waits for summer's heat to shimmer over the valley in a suffocating wave;waits for the arrival of its perfect victim...
And now, with the dizzying descent of a nightmare, Karen's homecoming will be a confrontation with evil, as she struggles to protect her vulnerable daughters from a menace that seems to rise from the earth itself-a malign, preternatural force that must satisfy its gruesome thirst for its unsuspecting prey...
