In the
rugged mountains of upstate New York, a predator unlike
any other is stalking and seducing his prey. Endowed with
abilities and instincts far more advanced than any man, he

literally stolen from their bodies. For while the killer
appears as a model of physical perfection, his mind and
body are tortured by the truth. With no identity and no

miracle of modern science set loose upon the world, and
with him comes a hunger that will never be sated....
