"Lawless, British Columbia, a small interior town with a ski resort that has struggled financially for decades due to cliamte change reinvents itself as a gambling destination, and the Golden Nugget Casino and Resort is born. During on of the thickest fogs the area has yet seen, the Kootenay Glacier fault line is rocked by a major earthquake, exposing a massive new gold strike certain individuals will do anything to keep secret. Now, awakened from its ancient slumber, something stalks the swirling grey mists searching for fresh prey. Something that will eat any living thing that crosses its path. A creature with a gnawing hunger that grows stronger by the minute--its only thought, to satisfy its ravenous appetite." --back cover
