Penrith is a small town on the outskirts of Sydney; a sleepy town where most high school residents can only think of leaving. At least, that is what is on the mind of Doug Lovett. Only a few months away from the end of high school, he firmly has university on his mind. One night, he decides to blow off steam at a friend's house.

Unbeknownst to Doug, a silent threat is lurking in the shadows; an ancient being stalks the streets of Penrith.

Unprovoked, it poses little threat, but something has caused this creature to stir, and Doug will find that escaping his home town may not be as straightforward as he has been lead to believe.
