[edit] Plot

The haunted pine forests of New Jersey is a wilderness area larger than the Grand Canyon. This wilderness abounds in dense forest and is the perfect refuge for a legendary creature, which has been feared by the locals since the eighteenth century. Locals tell stories of a native Indian shaman who mastered the forbidden black art of "shapeshifting", a phenomenon recently verified by modern anthropologists. Legend has it that the Indian shaman transformed his thirteenth child into a creature half man and half beast, in order to ward off the British Army during the American Revolution. Enter a world where suspense and mystery collide, generating a chilling climax of terror.
