'The world had teeth and it could bite you with them
anytime it wanted. Trisha McFarland discovered this when she was nine
years old. Lost in the woods.'
Trisha has only veered
off the trail to get away from the bickering of her brother and recently
divorced mother. She doesn't think there's any chance of her getting
lost.
Except in her panic to get back on the path, Trisha takes a turning that
leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper in the terrifying
woods. At first it's just the bugs, midges and mosquitoes. Then the
hunger. For solace she turns her walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox
baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gordon. And when the
reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom is with her. As
darkness begins to fall, Trisha begins to give up hope of being found.
Alive. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises
that she's not alone. There's something else in the woods - watching.
Waiting...
