Alison finds herself in the crosshairs of a predator unlike any other. A man walks among ordinary people, but something else controls his actions. An otherworldly entity has taken residence within him, driving him with an endless hunger for human meat. This creature sees Alison as the perfect prey, and the possessed man begins to stalk her with supernatural determination. She must recognize the threat before it strikes. The thing inside her pursuer grows stronger with each feeding, and its appetite knows no bounds. Alison's survival depends on understanding that she faces not just a human killer, but something far more dangerous. The entity's craving for flesh makes every encounter potentially fatal, and Alison becomes the focus of its terrible desires.
