Deep in the Alaskan wilderness, Sean Porter has built a new life inside ITE, a secluded research facility studying trees that bleed human blood. As the facility's second-in-command, Sean believes its walls protect him from the public eye and the violent past he left behind.
Then he discovers what Dr. Mitchell has been hiding beneath them.
The blood can heal damaged flesh, reverse aging, and perhaps defeat death. But Mitchell's experiments have created twisted subjects, buried laboratories, and a trail of bodies no one was meant to find. Branded a traitor and hunted through the wilderness, Sean is forced into a fight against the man who gave him everything.
As the roots spread and the truth beneath ITE awakens, Sean must decide how far he will go to survive, and whether a man with blood on his hands can expose a horror built on more.
