A dark, horrific secret lies buried in the serenity of Kentucky's Bluegrass Mountains. A deformed, psychotic, madman stalks the road ways of Bontonville for his next victim. His huge family property connects two highways with a private shortcut known only to him. He lures truckers and travelers into his private hell where he ruthlessly attacks them, hides their vehicles and disposes of their bodies in an immense underground lair where they become part of his deliciously macabre collection. For over twenty years not a shred of evidence has ever escaped his maniacal control. Until one day a federal undercover agent working on a case in the next county, stumbles on a clue that erupts into an intense, deadly chase to catch the most heinous killer in local history.
