Every fourteen months, it appears on a secluded beach in a small town just before dawn. During his daily run to the beach one morning, Danny Lynch witnesses the strangest and most incredible thing he's ever seen. A dark, man-like figure emerges from the ocean, stands on the beach for just a few moments, and then retreats back to the surf. Danny's perspective on the world changes instantly, and as the only eyewitness to this event, his mission now is to convince anyone who will listen that what he saw was real. But with only a vague photo and a dubious story, that task is proving almost impossible, and his only hope may be in finding a mysterious woman who was at the beach earlier that morning and who may hold the terrifying secret that could cost Danny his life.
