In 1935, four Marine veterans, bound by their military service in Nicaragua, reunite for a weekend hunting trip in the remote wilds of the Adirondack Mountains. But when they violate the ancient sanctity of the woods, they unleash a supernatural terror that knows the shadow of darkness in their hearts.

As the creeping isolation of the wilderness closes in, horrific images from their past increasingly permeate the present. The line between nightmare and reality shatters, as an unseen force exacts a terrible price for their forgotten evils. They faced the horrors of war, but nothing could prepare them for a reckoning with a primal entity that will stop at nothing to ensure no transgression goes unpunished.

Atmospheric and unsettling, IT PIERCES is a chilling tale of guilt, folklore, and the consequences of the violence in men's hearts. No sin goes unpunished
