They came here to heal one of their own. Five men-old friends, a family of choice-gather from far-flung towns all over the country at a remote Rocky Mountain lodge to support one among them and to begin his journey toward recovery. The skeleton crew of staff at the lodge-survivors of the Name of God death cult and a very dark night not so long ago-are on a journey of recovery, too. By all rights, the stage is set for a time of revelation, reflection, and restoration. But the legends of strange happenings in the area are all too real, and the wintry western slope of the mountain conceals unimaginable horrors. Soon, these friends and strangers-all of them survivors of their own battles-will find themselves in a primal struggle against a deadly foe bent only on slaughter and driven by dark appetites. Who among them will be the final ones-to survive the night, to survive the hunt... to survive the icy grip of a hunger red in tooth and claw?
