The mountains of West Virginia have been home to humans for thousands of years. But something far older, and evil, has been there much longer. Waiting. Dennis Tierney, mediocre dentist and legendary (in his own mind) ladies' man, thought an exploration of Warner, the local abandoned mining town, would liven up his monotonous days. So what if there were warnings and strange stories about it? He really should have listened.
Francine Hopper, former Army Lieutenant, and now small-town chief of police, had seen a lot of pain and suffering over the years. But nothing could have prepared her to face what was once again awake in Warner - and the monster Dennis Tierney had become.
