*****

We all have our demons.

Are unseen spiritual forces actually at work in my life?

It's an intriguing question that confronts us all and begins to haunt Owen Edmonds. Literally.

By March of Owen's senior year, eleven students at Lincoln Forest High School have committed suicide. Amid the media frenzy and fanatical onlookers, Owen remains levelheaded - that is until he encounters his own near death experience and wakes to a distressing new reality.

Everyone he sees appears shackled and enslaved.

While frantically seeking to cure his crazed hallucinations, Owen's delusions become even more sinister when he witnesses what appears to be an unseen army of hideous, towering beings. These Creepers, as he calls them, are preying upon people, including his classmates and girlfriend, tormenting and inciting humanity to self-destruct.

Owen eventually arrives at a mind-bending conclusion: He's not merely imagining forces of evil at work. Everyone else is blind to the evil that is.

He must warn others and rescue those he loves, but this proves to be no simple mission. He's hard pressed to get anyone to believe him.

Take this heart-pounding journey through Owen Edmonds' eyes, and decide for yourself: Are wicked forces after me? It's a question that transcends mere fiction, one that some would argue is dangerous to ignore.
