In the depths of the Maine woods, the wreckage of a plane is
discovered. There are no bodies, and no such plane has ever
been reported missing, but men both good and evil have been
seeking it for a long, long time.
What the wreckage conceals is more important than money. It
is power: a list of names, a record of those who have struck
a deal with the devil. Now a battle is about to commence
between those who want the list to remain secret and those
for whom it represents a crucial weapon in the struggle
against the forces of darkness.
The race to secure the prize draws in private detective
Charlie Parker, a man who knows more than most about the
nature of the terrible evil that seeks to impose itself on
the world, and who fears that his own name may be on the
list. It lures others, too: a beautiful, scarred woman with
a taste for killing; a silent child who remembers his own
death; and a serial killer known as the Collector, who sees
in the list new lambs for his slaughter. But as the rival
forces descend upon this northern state, the woods prepare
to meet them, for the forest depths hide other secrets.
Someone has survived the crash. Something has survived the
crash.
