Ivan Crane arrives in the fog-drenched hollow with empty pockets and a practiced aristocratic smile, determined to secure life-long wealth by wooing the naive heiress Katrina Von Dutch. His calculated courtship is violently derailed when an ancient headless wraith rides out of the misty timber to claim his head. He is hauled back from the brink by August, Katrina's dangerously handsome and fiercely protective older brother.
Each time August charges into the shadowed forest to drag Ivan from spectral blades, demonic corruption spreads deeper across August's flesh. Bound together by blood-soaked escapes and unspoken desires, Ivan finds his mercenary ambitions dissolving into genuine obsession for his scarred savior. Together, they must unearth the town's occult curse before the midnight horseman reaps their souls.
