Deck Thornton has the nervous energy of a guy who lives his life in an electric storm. When he shows up at Jackson Day's lakeside home in Austin, Texas that energy field seems to be misfiring. Jackson hasn't seen Deck since their college days. He wants a favor of Jackson; stow a backpack in a safe place till he can return in a few weeks to get it. "Nothing illegal," Deck promises. Jackson complies, and unwittingly crosses the evil line that day, putting all he cherishes in death's path.
