ON THE STORM'S PATH... The small, idyllic town of Merriwald is tucked away into a peaceful corner of Iowa. After a hurricane complex ravages the entire state, the lives of the townsfolk are thrown into disarray. While they struggle to rebuild the place they've come to love, something dangerous lurks in the woods...
...AN UNSEEN HORROR... From the outskirts of town, a horrific biped-like creature has begun wreaking havoc. Odd things are happening all over the place, and the damage is trickling down into the town. As sightings of the creature reach a frenzy, private eye Thomas Ungsten and his new apprentice, Eva Marsh, are commissioned by the town council to track down the creature's bloody trail.
...THE SPIRAL OF MYSTERY They will soon find out that there is more than one interested party. An outsider is following their every move as they try to find answers to strange questions.
Chasing leads into chartless Midwestern perils, surrounded by dangers of all kind as they race against an unknown agent, can Ungsten and Marsh solve this fast-escalating riddle before the strange entity gets the better of them?
