[edit] Plot

It was Thanksgiving weekend 1976, when 18 year old Harry De La Roche returned home from military school for the long holiday weekend. When Harry arrived home, the town was busy preparing for quiet family dinners and the big High School rivalry football game. But for Harry, bigger issues clouded his consciousness as he retreated into solitude, a somewhat comfortable zone for Harry. Harry was abused and taunted his whole life by his father and his peers and it was evident that nothing in his life ever seemed to fit, not even him. This is the way it had always been for Harry. But as fate has it, this was all about to change forever. Harry was finally going to get the attention he craved. No longer would he lurch through the halls cowering in the corner. As the weekend drew to a close, a communication breakdown between Harry and his father would ultimately drive Harry to his breaking point, as he crossed that fragile line, reaching a point of no return. While Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd blared from car stereos, the unsuspecting evil that lied dormant was about to unleash a demon into the soul of one local son. The horrific events that followed on that unusually warm November evening, would change Harry's life forever and would shatter a family, a community and anyone's son whose unforgiving souls lay prey to the demons that lie within.
