Darren Trevor is only five days away from his twenty-fifth birthday when he feels that something is wrong. Something in his body. Something unnatural. The weird thing is, his father, Bryan Trevor, also died from a mysterious illness on the day he turned twenty-five. Could it have anything to do with the years that Bryan spent in the military after the Gulf War -- years unaccounted for, with strange and lasting consequences? The clock is ticking as Darren tries to discover what's happening to him -- and what happened to his father -- before it's too late.

In the desolate woods of northern Wisconsin, there is a cabin. Inside the cabin is a figure of evil, a witch performing an unknown ritual. There is also a young boy, Ryan Amherst, who is part of this strange ceremony: a pattern of sacrifice and resurrection known only to the residents of the tiny town of Grange.Nearby in the village, a man named Nathan Amherst - Ryan's father - meets with a middleman named John Linden. Nathan asks when his side of the "contract" will be fulfilled. John can only assure Nathan that he will be compensated for his troubles. Meanwhile, in Milwaukee, a police officer named Ben Dmitrovich has a tense confrontation with his superiors. After beating a suspect in a domestic violence case, Ben is placed on a mandatory suspension - another in a long line of heinous police scandals. Ben, who is struggling to overcome his own personal demons, decides to retreat to his family's cabin up north.By coincidence or a morbid twist of fate, he ends up in Grange and meets a woman named Maria Amherst - Nathan's wife, who apparently died seven months ago. As he unlocks the mystery of Maria's reappearance, Ben discovers a shocking pattern of child disappearances and strange resurrections. A young piano prodigy named Amy Dorian may be the town's next victim, but Ben races to rescue her before it's too late. Hurtling towards a cosmic judgment, Ben has a final shot at redemption or damnation.
