Каждый год отряд скаутов отправляется на необитаемый остров Фальстаф у побережья Канады, где они проводят выходные в условиях дикой природы, учатся разводить костры, ловить рыбу и ориентироваться на местности. Это традиция, в ней нет неожиданностей, и каждое поколение вспоминает эти поездки с радостью и ностальгией. Только в этот раз все будет по-другому. К стоянке скаутов выходит странный незнакомец — невероятно тощий, жутко бледный и чудовищно голодный. Они столкнутся с чем-то куда страшнее любого привидения из байки у костра.

There are stirrings in the woods and over the treetops—and above all else, the brooding shape of a monolith known as the Black Rock casts its terrible pall. Paranoia and distrust soon grip the settlement. Escape routes are gradually cut off as events spiral toward madness. Hell—or the closest thing to it—invades Little Heaven.
