A small town in Kentucky is about to learn fear.
Resting in the foothills of Appalachia, Coal Gap is the kind of place where everybody knows one another and people move to raise their children.
One of those children is 10-year-old Billy Griffith, who harbors a secret of an unlimited power of the mind.
Unfortunately for Billy, his special abilities can't remain hidden forever, and a stormy darkness gathers around Coal Gap, a maelstrom zeroing in on the boy.
Within this storm is a stranger with powers of his own to raise the dead and have them do his bidding. This stranger wants Billy's powers for himself, and he does not come alone.
