A priest. A woodsman. A secluded mountain village. Reverend Shelby Blackwood finds himself at odds with his own teachings after he discovers the allure of the pagan woodman and the unnatural power he wields. But the flock expects Shelby to be virtuous, a stranger threatens their way of life, and the forest—the forest is hungry.
