While there, they discover more bodies, all dried up like its first victim. Fleeing the woods, they report their findings to the sergeant who goes in to look, but while there they are attacked by the demon and two officers are killed along with a woman from forensics.As fear grips the town and more people are taken, Cassy's dreams continue and she soon understands that the demon is there for her. But, Cassy holds a secret not even she's aware of, and so it's set for an exciting showdown that will change her life, permanently.
