She's heard the stories about the mysterious animal, and can't resist the opportunity to find out for herself if it really exists. Venturing out into the fields with her friends, Sophie becomes the victim of a savage attack, and awakens in a locked room. On the other side of the door is Gavin, a man who wages an unrelenting struggle to hold the beast at bay. Is he keeping Sophie locked up for her own protection, or are his motivations more malevolent than he's leading on?
