Aspen is living in Hemlock Forest with a ghost of his past and the monster of his nightmares. Plagued by the woman of his dreams and his misfortunes, he thinks that his isolation is his punishment. However, when a stranger comes to his door, bloody and fearing, the boundary of redemption and repentance starts to fade.
With the forest talking of ancient things rousing themselves below its roots, Aspen has to choose whether his redemption is confronting the hunter who chases him or the truth that he has spent years trying to bury.
