Antiques dealer Peter Brightly encounters an unusual walking stick at a mysterious estate sale where strangers come to bid on the remnants of a life. He sees its multi-colored wood, lovingly carved as if by the gods. It's not just any walking stick. It has a sense of history and mystery to its beauty. He desires it at any price, knowing he must possess it. What he doesn't know is that it must possess him, too.
Something changes when he brings it home. His health declines as his life unravels. People in his life begin to be harmed, from death to accidents. The more he needs to find the dark truth of it all, the further he goes into its mystery.
Determined to understand what's happening to him, Peter traces the object's history through the lives of those who've owned it before, each trail leading further into darkness. A tree, an ancient people, a man and a curse. A woman he joins forces with to find the truth. Will the walking stick claim him as a debt to pay? Or will he bury it along with the forces that gave it life? Enter the Devil's Wood for the answers. You may never come out.
