The mist on Dartmoor doesn't just hide the road. It hides the sins of the past.Dartmoor, 1989. The village of Blackwood is a place forgotten by time, accessible only by a single road that floods when the autumn rains come. But when the wealthy and despised landlord Gerald Halloway is found dead on the high moors-his skull crushed by an impossible force and his chest branded with the Cross of Lorraine-the villagers don't call it murder. They call it judgment.Legend says the "Black Monk," a 14th-century avenger, has returned to purge the village of its Seven Deadly Sins. As the fog rolls in and the church bell tolls for the next victim, the local police are terrified into silence.Enter Dr. Elias Thorne, a rational Neuropsychologist who believes God is just a malfunction of the frontal lobe, and DI Sarah Miller, a hardened detective who trusts nothing but evidence. Recruited to debunk the mass hysteria, they arrive in Blackwood to find a community closing ranks and a killer who defies the laws of physics.From the claustrophobic ruins of a flooded tin mine to the terrifying silence of the church vestry, the hunt is on. But as Thorne attempts to profile a killer who vanishes into thin air, he discovers that the monster isn't a ghost. It is something far more human, and far more tragic.The script has been written. The Vesper bell is ringing. And the Sins must be harvested.
