To Eddie Marshall, the idea seemed ridiculous: hitchhike to
the mountains of North Carolina
to help his lifelong pal haul a truck load of Christmas trees out to Louisiana.
But Mark Rockley had a way of making the ridiculous seem perfectly
reasonable. And what
did Eddie have to lose anyway? At least up here he could take his mind off
crooked managers
and bickering band-mates, and the conniving woman he'd left behind.
Had he known what happened to Harold and Maggie on the mountain
this morning, he would
never have agreed to go up there tonight. Even if there was a patch of trees
free for the taking.
If Mark and Eddie had known what waited in the shadow of Rickert's
Peak, they would have
stayed far, far away from that place.
Tonight, reason turns to madness, madness gives way to terror.
And bad things happen on… The Mountain.
