The year? 1645. The place? Dartmoor, in Devon, England. Outside the village of Grimpen is Baskerville Hall, the home of the Royalist Baskerville family, most notably young Hugo Baskerville. With his father Richard dying from war wounds sustained from fighting the rebels, it's only a matter of time before young Hugo inherits the fortune. And God help us all when he does. Or should that be "devil help us?" Because, the old folks that live on the moor speak of something living out there, something beyond human laws. A being that obeys instincts and desires we can't hope to know of. Ruins of ancient villages, stone circles made for no discernable purpose, and a mire that seems to devour anything that tries to cross it. Hugo may soon learn that if you value your life or your reason, keep away from the moor... especially in those hours when evil is exaulted.
