Would you curse the one you love to save her life? In 1971, a shadow looms over Bestiavir, New Mexico; a town consumed in superstition and legend and dark secrets. The townsfolk's imagination feasted on tales surrounding a monster in the woods, the infamous Beast of Bestiavir. Those tales had finally begun to die down amidst the nightly televised horrors of Vietnam, until a devastating fire tears through the local VFW - so close to the feared haunted woods, the rumors arise again. Consumed with rising fear, the town is further shaken after almost losing a high school basketball star, Tony Brandner, and his beloved girlfriend, Suzie, in a horrible car accident. The town was already losing enough of its youth to the war, but on this fateful night, Tony must face a personal horror of his own: choosing between letting his girlfriend die, or letting her be cursed. And what kind of life would she have if he did? Can both Tony and Suzie live with the dire consequences of their actions and learn how to survive with the knowledge of what lurks in the woods behind the trailer park? And if they do, will the town of Bestiavir and its people survive?
