Tom Paulson, a brilliant architect at a prestigious firm in Los Angeles, had it all; a corner office, a loyal wife, and a loving son. His perfect life is soon shattered when his wife, Brenda, is raped outside their upscale home. Desperate to reconnect with Brenda and shelter his son, Roger, from the truth, he quits his job and leaves Los Angeles for the small northern California town where Brenda was raised with the hope that family and friends can offer support in this time of need. He is dead wrong and quickly learns that things are not as they seem in this troubled town. Nightmares and visions of witches and ghosts from the towns past begin haunting his every moment; ravens appear from thin air and shadows move around him without the aid of light.  Tom soon realizes that someone, or something has been planning for their arrival and will stop at nothing to tear his family apart and deliver them to a fate far worse than death.
