Determined to discover the threat, he begins a search through the town's history, only to learn that not everything is as peaceful as it appears. As he digs deeper and deeper, Father Randall exposes layers upon layers of dark secrets, and when he finally discovers what is lurking around Carter's Lake, it might already be too late.
