Five strangers find themselves at a roadside inn nestled deep within the moorlands. The night grows dark, the mists have come in, and there are rumors of a dangerous beast prowling the moors. The rumored beast is a shapeshifter that a hunter has tracked to this very inn. With midnight looming, accusations fly as the guests attempt to discover who might be the beast in disguise before it can transform and kill them all.
