Beneath the facade of Peter Dietrich's multi-million-dollar industrial empire lies a dark secret, now manifesting as a horrifying threat to his family. The nightmare begins when his son collapses at his eightieth birthday party, later dying from a massive infection resulting from more than two-dozen poisoned porcupine quills surgically removed from his stomach and small intestine. As Peter struggles to comprehend the medical enigma that claimed his son's life, the terror escalates as his daughter falls ill less than a week later and dies from necrotizing enterocolitis, the dying tissue of her digestive tract rotting within her. When his former business partners, complicit in the secret he thought long buried, fall victim to brutal attacks days later, Peter is forced to confront the chilling truth: someone is systematically targeting him, using the bodies of his children and associates as a canvas for a gruesome revenge. Meanwhile, at Pictured Rocks Indian Reservation, where a long-buried secret threatens the health of the entire community, tribal elder and medicine man Archie Fayette is receiving mysterious drawings in the mail, hinting at a powerful witch operating on the reservation. At the root of this complex game of cat and mouse lies an old argument that once destroyed a friendship and now underlies a desperate quest. Archie must uncover the identity of the witch hunting Peter Dietrich before they commit a final, unthinkable act. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, and for millionaire industrialist Peter Dietrich, Wabeno has a sinister promise to keep.
