After a difficult struggle with fertility, Tori Breyer's dreams of motherhood come true with the arrival of a mysterious baby boy.

Once Brandon begins to act on his twisted urges, those closest to him find themselves in grave danger.
Synopsis / Plot Summary: What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?
