After a ten-year absence, Barry Riggs returns to his hometown of Aiken Mill, Virginia, in search of his brother, Matt, who has mysteriously disappeared. Not only is the younger Riggs missing, but his house has been ransacked--and branded with the strange word "LEBO," painted in blood on the bedroom wall. Faced with a local sheriff whose efforts to solve the crime are considerably less than devoted, Barry sets out on his own to discover the truth. He meets a number of locals he had known in his youth, including a young woman named Jennifer Brand, whom he had once treated with contempt because she suffered from a repulsive, crippling affliction. After some awkward moments, the two become friends, and together they begin to unravel the mystery of Matt’s disappearance. Certain townspeople suggest that the name "LEBO" holds certain, ominous significance, but no one will so much as whisper its meaning. Barry eventually learns that his brother had made the acquaintance of a man who goes by the name of Ren--and who is, according to some of the locals, a reputed worshipper of Satan. As Barry and Jennifer unravel the clues, they learn that all is far from what it appears--and that dark, inhuman forces are certainly at work.
