Hartslog Valley, the Shadow of Death region, in Central
Pennsylvania is haunted by a history of violence. The horrific Dean
Massacre occurred there in 1788. Just south of Harstlog in Woodcock
Valley, a band of fifty Indians and two white collaborators
tortured and murdered ten of Captain Phillips Rangers in 1780. In
1754, Captain Jack returned home from hunting and found his wife
and two children slain by Indians. Seeking revenge, he scoured the
wilderness. The expert tracker and hunter left a bloody trail of
scalps strung from the trees and Indian lodges of his enemy.
Now two hundred years later, the violence continues. Skeletons
are found wired to a tree on Blood Mountain. Hostages are taken in
a Mennonite school, resulting in the death of a boy. Two girls are
kidnapped from Twin River High School. Hartslog Valley is again
thrown into chaos.
When local authorities are ineffective, enter the vigilante.
Following the tradition of Charles Bronson in Death Wish, Clint
Eastwood in Dirty Harry, and Sylvester Stallone in Rambo, Vietnam
War veteran and Twin River High School custodian Gene Brooks vows
to protect the students.
Twin River sophomores, Conner Brooks and Matt Henry, are caught
in the turmoil. Harassed by the chief of police, community thugs,
and school bullies, the boys fight to survive in the modern
wilderness of Hartslog Valley.
