Have you ever come across an event that seemed to spiral out of control? Well, that's exactly what happened to 14 yr Jackson when he and his family moved to Boswell, a town in the middle of nowhere. When driving towards the outskirts of town through a massive rainstorm, they hit something on the road that wasn't quite human. If that's not bad enough, when they report it to the Boswell police, they find out that there have been three murders within the last couple of weeks. Jackson discovers that their new home lies on the border of the 'wastelands', a vast landscape where nothing lives. In the center of this dead zone is the Tor, an ancient hill that may have once been home to a Viking outpost. It's when Jackson and a new friend journey to the Tor, they discover a life form that is terrifying and bewildering. It's when Jackson attempts to link all these events together, that the mystery deepens.
