Die Baume sind nicht nur Zeugen der Zeit sie tragen Geheimnisse in ihren Asten, Schatten, die im Wind flustern, und eine Kraft, die weit uber das hinausgeht, was der Mensch zu begreifen vermag. Inmitten dieser Stille lauert das Grauen, das nur darauf wartet, entdeckt zu werden.Doch der Wald ist nicht der einzige Feind. Der Wanderer muss sich nicht nur der Natur stellen, sondern auch seiner eigenen Vergangenheit, die er lange vor sich hergeschoben hat.
