A trauma-bonded circle of friends. A cursed relic. A descent into a nightmarish dimension.
The Shepherd is a visceral supernatural thriller that explores the darkness between ancient folklore and modern digital consumption. Fans of Stephen King's IT, The Ring, and the high-tech dread of Black Mirror will find their next obsession here.
Seven years ago, Sarah Láng's mother vanished into the shadows of rural China. Now, Sarah is traveling in her footprints to find the truth.
What she finds is a relic: an ancient brass lamp that seems harmless enough-until she and her trauma-bonded friend group, the Still Alive Five, bring it home to New York and unleash the ancient evil lurking inside.
As the demon's curse spreads through a viral video, The Shepherd begins to feed. One by one, the entity herds the souls of its victims into The Pasture-a twisted dimension of rot and endless horror.
Forced to watch the souls of her friends being slowly consumed, she discovers a shocking truth about herself-a clue that may be the only key to stopping The Shepherd before its flock is complete.
Armed with this new revelation, Sarah must unravel her past and find a way to cross the veil and confront the demon head-on.
But The Shepherd has been waiting a lifetime for its lost lamb to return, and this time, it doesn't intend to let Sarah go.
