12 year-old James McCallister is thrown into the Canyon, where a hideous beast resides, it's bloodlust never quenched. Every year, when a youth begins the transition to man or womanhood, they would be sacrificed to the beast, where they would have survive for as long as they could. If they could survive 'till the Hunter's Moon, then they would be released, and be admired. But that only happened once, as those who enter the demon's lair, will never come out. Can James navigate the Canyon, slay the beast, and see the light of day once more?
