Imagine you’re home alone. Suddenly a man stands before you. He claims to be your fiancé. But you have no idea who he is. And nothing in your home suggests that someone lives with you. He’s talking to you, but nothing makes sense. You’re afraid. And you feel the irresistible urge to attack. Take a knife. Are you crazy? Imagine you come home and your fiancée doesn’t recognize you. She thinks you’re a burglar. Worse, a rapist. You just want to protect her, but she defends herself against your perceived threat and barricades herself behind a door. She claims she’s never seen you before. She obviously thinks you’re crazy. Are you? A woman. A man. One chance for survival. It’s trust or die.

In the dark reaches of Maine’s North Woods, a group of Iraq War veterans are engaged in a ruthless smuggling operation across the Canadian border. But what they have unleashed is far more dangerous than even they realize --- an ancient evil locked away in Iraq for centuries. Evil has dogged Charlie Parker’s steps, costing him his career as a cop and his license as a private investigator. Now, he is called in to stop the bloodletting, but to defeat the evil, he must form an uneasy alliance with a man he fears more than any other: the killer known as the Collector.
