A gothic tale from deep within the boreal forest
Violence and greed have intruded into a wild and remote land. Its 1907, and silver fever has drawn thousands of men into a fledgling mining camp in the heart of the wilderness. Modesto OBrien, fortune-teller and detective, is there too - but he isnt looking for riches. Hes seeking revenge.
OBrien 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 OBrien when Lucy goes missing. But what should have been a straightforward case of kidnapping pulls OBrien into a world of ancient myths, magic, and male violence.
As he searches for Lucy, OBrien fears that dark forces are emerging from the ravaged landscape. Mesmerized by a nightmarish creature stalking the wilderness, and haunted by his past, OBrien struggles to maintain his grip on reality as he faces hard choices about loyalty, sacrifice, and revenge.
