A group of troubled teens are led into the woods by a New Age guru who promises to help them heal their minds, hearts and troubled souls. But, one by one, those raw wounds are ripped open, spurting bright, red blood across Camp Phoenix. Because the cannibalistic killer who once haunted these woods - long thought dead and buried - has been reawakened by a trio of teenage, Satan-worshiping metal-heads. The dreaded beast of Blackwell's woods once again roams the forest, preying on the innocent - and not so innocent - who dared to enter his domain. Satanic rituals and supernatural secrets will haunt the survivors of this brutal massacre... if there are any survivors.

Set in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, the story follows Nadia the night before her childhood home is sold. High on mushrooms, she and her friends inadvertently open a portal, plunging them into the astral-plane. There, she must face The Horned One, an ancient keeper of the land and of the water. To return to her body, Nadia must come to terms with her responsibility to her homeland and the water that it protects.
