To Make a Monster

Something far more dangerous than wolves lurks in the forest this night.
Keane and his band of brothers have always been outcasts in the villages around Lough Greney Bog. Without the prospects of money, love, or lineage; they settle on doing what they can to make ends meet. When Declan fails to return to the tavern one blustery winter evening, the rest of his brothers are desperate to find him. A haunting blue glow in the darkness offers whispers of everything they could ever hope for if only they will follow her call despite their search.
Rumors of riches and old gods taunt the men, as one by one they are stolen away. Forced to make a choice between what’s right and each other. They will have to decide whether or not they embrace the monster within or all could be lost. It’s a unique opportunity to change their fate, but will it be worth the price of their soul?
