When Dylan Silvers and his friends accept an invitation to spend the summer at the Ripley family ranch in the Nevada desert, they expect quiet nights under endless stars, wide-open landscapes, and a much-needed escape from the chaos of home. But beneath the sun-scorched plains lies something far older-and far hungrier-than Dylan could have imagined.
Whispers of abandoned mines and half-forgotten tragedies quickly turn into a living nightmare as Dylan, his sister Andromeda, his girlfriend Aura, and their friends Tyler and Rafe discover that the ranch is not the safe haven it appears to be. Something monstrous lurks in the shadows, a predator with an insatiable hunger that should have died out long ago.
As the nights grow longer and the killings more brutal, the group must fight to uncover the truth hidden in the desert's dark heart-and decide whether they can put an end to the horror once and for all, or become its next feast.

But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.
