The creature is lurking in his lair near the creepy house at the end of Buck Tree Road. And when the creature goes in for the kill, he means business - bloody business. Meanwhile, Abigail Merriweather is a fetching recent college grad who begins a passionate but stormy courtship with the handsome Eldon Bailey. Both of the young lovers, however, harbor dark and shocking secrets in their past - secrets that will prove to be damaging and perhaps even deadly. One of Abigail's most prized possessions is the distinctive-looking pewter medallion she wears around her neck. First worn by Abigail's distant relative, a woman executed for alleged witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts in 1694, the medallion has become an odd and insistent presence in Abigail's life. As more victims fall prey to the creature, locals wonder when and how the deadly attacks can be stopped. But what is the connection between the ancient amulet, the creature and the horrible history of the house at the end of Buck Tree Road? And can anyone really feel safe with the creature poised to strike again?
