A goat's head stares back at Detective Cole Bryant from within the bowels of the teen who is the latest unnatural death among those who live in the shadow of the cursed North Mountain. Trying to solve the case only brings Cole closer to a dark side where temptation, sex, and sinful ways lure him into the world of a family whose backwoods morals aren't simply a symptom of a forgotten age in time, but the consequence of a centuries-old pact made with the devil.
