The inexperienced Sheriff John Harrison has never uttered the word murder, but in the summer of 1928 that will change. The sheriff is tasked with investigating a string of ritualistic murders of women in the rural hill town of Trafford, Pennsylvania; murders that were predicted by the town's simpleton seer. To make matter worse, the prime suspect in these murders is his sweetheart Ann Ivosevic, a headstrong farmer's daughter and a dead ringer to the slain women.With his dimwitted, but devoted deputy James by his side, Sheriff Harrison must overcome his fears and lack of faith to find the killer before the next full moon graces the inky night sky. Will the sheriff catch the killer before another dark-haired beauty's life ends in a torturous death? Or will he be too late and the Shades will have another victim to display in gruesome grandeur?
