Back Woods Lodge has re-opened its doors. Thanks to The Anvil Group, hunting is off the table, so the proprietors have shifted direction, turning the old place into an artists' retreat.

Things aren't going great for Paul Webster, once an artist of some acclaim, so he accepts a job guiding the first group: skilled painters who have been through a divorce. The point of the retreat is art, but Paul still finds a fresh love interest in Carla Moore. Before their love has any chance to bloom, a monster creeps from the thick forest to feed on the artists.

...And you know what they say: if you see one monster, there's probably more hiding in the shadows. But maybe that's not such a bad thing.
