An ancient Cherokee legend of a great spirit that protects the land and lake of a South Carolina park, deep in the heart of the reservation, brings Rebecca Anderson home. An up-and-coming biology student. Rebecca is working on her Master's thesis, attempting to separate fact from fantasy in this persistent local legend; little does she know how real the "legend" is. When people start going missing, and others are found dead, Sheriff Bill Murphy must identify who-or what-is causing all this trouble before it gets worse. As the mystery evolves, it entangles Sarah Muller, a local high school senior, and she finds herself at the center of the investigation, stalked by a nightmare she couldn't imagine. As all the players move toward the final discovery, they will be shocked by what they learn: the "legend" is more than it seems and not what any of them imagined.
