We're all damned.
It's just a question of when.
As his estranged father lies on his deathbed, horror novelist Paul Steele is stunned by the old man's admission: Many years ago, he committed a ghastly crime and was never caught, his freedom bartered in a black-magic spell. On his last breath, he warns Paul that he should expect a visit from a mysterious stranger. "He'll be coming son. A dark man. A man from the shadows."
Soon, a chilling figure appears outside Paul's home during a late-night thunderstorm-a vile and sinister man called Haughnt. When Paul confronts him, he is horrified to learn that not only does Haughnt possess unimaginable magic, but has come to collect on his father's debt. Given two choices, both unspeakable, he must find a way to break an unbreakable contract, a curse sealed in his family's bloodline. Stifled at every turn, as time ticks away and Haughnt's relentless grip tightens, Paul faces a cold reality: We're all damned. It's just a question of when.
