Seventeen-year-old Mackenzie Harper has just landed himself a summer job doing yard work and some landscaping for a neighbor, hoping to earn enough money to help his struggling mother. His new boss, Peter Hobbs, wants to create a relaxing outdoor reading spot for his workaholic wife.
Simple plans. Achievable dreams.
Then, while Peter is digging some holes so he can plant his new rosebushes, he unearths something he had no idea was there: a very old wooden box carved with strange symbols and strings of words in a variety of languages. Thinking of buried treasure, he opens the box... and releases something that's been trapped inside for longer than anyone can imagine. Something that's driven to unleash its power on everyone it encounters, including Peter and his wife, Mackenzie's entire family, and every other resident of their little coastal town.
Genre: Horror
