SYNOPSIS
Donovan Vicar is a “feeler”—a man who feels the vibrations of
people around him. One October evening on his way home, he
bumps into a man that he senses to be particularly evil. The
man is heading to Dallas, Texas. Donovan embarks on a late
bus ride to seek him out. As the empty bus leaves the station in
foggy Bitternest, Louisiana, Donovan falls asleep. When he
wakes up, he is disoriented by what he sees—he is still in
Bitternest, only his surroundings seem more primitive and
unfamiliar. He is shocked to realize that he has traveled back in
time to the year 1957 and that the city is plagued by the
mysterious disappearances of numerous young women.
Everything points to Timothy Crane, a man alleged to have
many shady associations and rumored to be dabbling in black
magic. Aided by Ritchie Campbell, a young man with his share
of dark secrets, and his old friend Edgar Ward, Donovan finds
himself caught up with the events unfurling in Bitternest. He is
slowly coming to terms with his gifts as a “feeler” and only
begins to get a glimpse of all the power brewing inside him. The
stakes are raised and everything culminates into one fateful
night leaving them less than a week to figure out what Crane is
really up to and how to stop him. It might also be Donovan’s
only chance to ever get back home...
