The woods near Bryan Stewart's house have a long history of evil. When he was 14, he became a victim of some nameless evil. Police found him semi-conscious, lying on a path close to the heart of the woods. Not long afterward, Bryan tried to kill himself. What makes a 14-year-old boy so depressed he doesn't want to live? His parents think he has a mental illness; the townspeople just think he's an evil, drug-crazed thug, and Bryan has no idea what happened. He only knows it all began the night of his ordeal, the night he has blocked out of his mind. After he meets two girls his own age: a beautiful, almost pagan-like, dark-haired girl, and a devoted Christian who constantly challenges him on his own faith, Bryan begins to remember what happened to him when he was 14. Even more frightening than the memories, is the realization that the evil is returning and wants Bryan again. He must choose the correct path, the one that will lead him safely through the dark woods.
