Like most kids who grew up in the
small Oregon town of Silver Falls, Toby Hoffman had heard all the scary stories
about the monsters living in the neighboring woods of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation. Now a teenager, he knows the stories are made up to keep the
town’s children from wandering where they aren’t wanted.
Then his best friend, Nate, wakes
up covered in blood in the reservation woods, with no recollection of whose
blood it is or where it came from. When even more brutal attacks follow, Toby
can’t help but wonder if one of the fables he was told as a child might be
true. With the help of Rachel, a determined Native American girl who has moved
off the reservation and into the house next door, he begins searching for an
explanation for the recent carnage. He also develops feelings for his new
neighbor, which are put to the test when he and Rachel discover that her uncle
may be responsible for the emergence of a legendary monster that does in fact
exist.
To make matters worse, there’s
evidence that Nate was turned by the beast, and that he has every intention of
holding onto his extraordinary new creature capabilities no matter the cost. In
order to save Silver Falls from a true scary story, Toby will have to face off
against forces he doesn’t fully understand – and his closest friend.
