Across the bleak moorland stalks a beast. It is an unknown thing; a creature from the darkest, most terrifying of nightmares.

After Ralph accidentally runs over a deer, he ends up taking the animal home and serving prime venison to his wife that evening. Soon, his thirst for blood becomes something different, and his life slowly spirals out of control.

As the body count rises, a local schoolteacher and a young woman become involved in the mystery. But who is really the Beast of Bodmin?
