A gothic tale from deep within the boreal forest...
Violence and greed have intruded into a wild and remote land. It's 1907, and silver fever has drawn thousands of men into a fledgling mining camp in the heart of the wilderness. Modesto O' Brien, fortune-teller and detective, is there too - but he isn't looking for riches. He's seeking revenge.
O' Brien soon finds himself entangled with the mysterious Nail sisters, Lucy and Lily. On the run from their past and headed for trouble, Lily turns to O' Brien when Lucy goes missing. But what should have been a straightforward case of kidnapping pulls O' Brien into a world of ancient myths, magic, and male violence.
As he searches for Lucy, O' Brien fears that dark forces are emerging from the ravaged landscape. Mesmerized by a nightmarish creature stalking the wilderness, and haunted by his past, O' Brien struggles to maintain his grip on reality as he faces hard choices about loyalty, sacrifice, and revenge.
