Description

The quiet sleepy village of Rhos Meadow has been earmarked for a much-disputed wind farm and hydraulic fracturing drilling operation. Soon after work begins, inexplicable and unnatural deaths befall the residents, with those who survive infected by a malignant disease.A girl goes missing when she is drawn to Rhos Meadow by a young spirit's harrowing prophecy that the entire nation is in danger should those infected flee their sanctuary and spread the deadly virus to the outside world.Can anyone find the courage they need to thwart the prowling infected and escape from the once idyllic but now eerie village?
