It was an urban legend. All the kids knew about the boogyman, the Demon of the Desert, but as long as they left it alone, they were safe. Or so the stories went.

But when an act of eco-terrorism turns the untamed land to ash, the demon finds a new home - theirs.

As nightmares bleed into reality and terror spreads from house to house, the residents must face an impossible truth: the demon was never just a story. To defeat it, they have to conquer the strongest, most primal of all emotions, and the demon’s greatest weapon.
