Der Borderland-Pass ist eine trostlose Schlucht in den Ozark Mountains. Es ist ein uralter Ort des Kampfes und des Überlebens, an dem die Vergangenheit und die Gegenwart aufeinanderprallen und die Geister der Gefallenen auf der Suche nach Rache umherwandern.Die Legende des Ozark-Heulers ist so alt wie die Berge selbst, und die blutigen Geschichten von Terror, Verstümmelung und Mord sind ein Grundpfeiler der Folklore dieser Region. Skeptiker tun den Heuler als Lügenmärchen und das Werk einer übersteigerten Fantasie ab, aber diejenigen, die das Monster gesehen haben, wissen es besser.Carter Renfrow ist auf der Flucht und versucht sich vor seiner Vergangenheit zu verstecken, als eine Massenkarambolage bei Schneegestöber auf dem Pass seine Pläne durchkreuzt. Doch der Unfall wird nicht das schrecklichste Grauen in dieser Nacht bleiben.
