Who's Out There

Inside Marburg State Park lies the remains of Camp Southwoods, where four counselors were slain twenty-six years ago. Their murderer, Douglas Lee Carver, has become a local boogieman with a chilling nursery rhyme attributed to his name. Locals believe the now-abandoned camp is haunted.

Ranger Colt Mitcham, leader of the Ranger Rescue Unit for Marburg State Park, has no time for ghost stories. He has real-world problems to worry about - the person vandalizing the grounds, a local man who's disappeared inside the park, and making sure his team secures the park before the rapidly approaching blizzard unleashes hell across the land.

But when a member of Colt's team is found murdered, Colt begins to wonder if the tales about Camp Southwoods are true. Has Carver returned? Or is someone else out there? Someone with an axe to grind against Colt and his team, hoping to use the urban legends as a cover for their crimes and keep what really happened at Camp Southwoods three decades ago from being exposed.
