Wicked phenomena strike the isolated campus of Calisade Mountain College. A homeless man sees his dead son in an abandoned dormitory, pursues the boy inside, and meets his demise. In the dark of night, a student witnesses a man plummet from a high-rise — a surefire suicide — but the detectives find no body. A campus police officer suddenly develops a taste for rape — and a homicidal hunger. The townspeople always sensed an intangible wrongness on the mountain . . . even before the evil enigma was afoot.
Amanda Baker, a student at Calisade Mountain College, is witness to a suicide that the police claim didn't happen. Since the college is well known for it's wild parties and drug use, they assume she hallucinated the strange events she describes.
It's not long until the officers experience some eerie happenings for themselves and from then on it's a race to uncover the mystery of how and why people are being taken over by a sinister entity that robs them of their free will, and how Amanda has come to be at the heart of it all. I really loved Amanda and was rooting for her to overcome her own haunted past and the oppressing evil that has cloaked the campus and spread through town. If you enjoy a classic Good vs Evil story with unlikely heroes who aren't sure they have what it takes to save the day, this is for you.
