When Marty Von Josef, an out-of-work fisherman tries to win back the affection of his former girlfriend, Anna Strauss, he is up against a formidable adversary.

Flynn O'Malley is every man's man: rich, powerful, connected and handsome; everything Marty is not. But, when Flynn's temper puts Anna in the hospital Marty whisks her away from her Long Island home to her parent's cottage on Shelter Island to rethink, in solitude, her relationship with Flynn and hopefully her feelings for him.

That is when the violence truly begins.

A drifter with a taste for blood and unthinkable acts of torture has wandered into the Shelter Island community. One by one he methodically murders anyone who gets in his path, growing stronger and bolder with each killing; then he sees Anna Strauss as she boards the ferry for Shelter Island.

He has an eye for weakness and sees that weakness in Anna. Now she is the target of his hideous games. However, alone, she cannot find a way to get away from the control he has over her.

It is now up to Marty to find her and keep her from the violence of Flynn and the evil of the drifter, Fialko Stone.
