Danny and his father have moved from town to town, trying to stay one step ahead of their grief over the death of Danny's mother. Now they've landed in Harvest Cove, tucked away in Canada's Big Empty, during an especially severe winter. One night a large, vicious creature attacks and bites Danny; a couple of days later, it also crosses paths with Danny's friend Howie. Looking through newspaper archives, the boys discover a pattern: every harsh winter, Harvest Cove teens begin disappearing. First the teens get attacked, then they turn delirious, and two weeks later they vanish into the night. Or, as Danny and Howie suspect, the creature returns to claim them.
