When Renestrae Frank, a young woman from small town, USA, won a trip to Scotland for herself and her two best friends she thought her luck was finally changing. The landscape was beautiful, Kaloria swooned over the accents and Renestrae just knew that with enough prodding even Evelyn would put her modern sensibilities aside for the myth and folklore of the country. Unfortunately appearance can be deceiving and it isn't long before their peaceful vacation turns into a nightmare. 

Unable to leave until the end of the month and with her curiosity and determination running high Renestrae makes a discovery that no one in their right mind would believe. It's no simple serial killer that's hunting the villagers but a Kelpie, a water horse with a taste for human flesh.

As the villagers drop like flies and suspicions turn towards Renestrae herself not only do the girls run the risk of becoming the next victims in the town's curse but the killer might be closer than they think.
