After a devastating storm leaves an entire mountain community destroyed with no survivors, a monster-hunter travels to the remote Catskills to investigate reports of mysterious creatures.

As thunderstorms roll in and companions disappear, he uncovers a horrifying secret lurking beneath the mountain itself.
