Twenty years ago, a boy named Jack Sawyer traveled to a parallel universe
called The Territories to save his mother and her Territories "twinner"
from a premature and agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to
the other world. Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective
living in the nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no
recollection of his adventures in the Territories and was compelled to
leave the police force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to
awaken those memories.

When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are
reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier by a real-life
madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed "The Fisherman" and Jack's
buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help his inexperienced
force find him. But is this the work of a disturbed individual, or has a
mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in this quiet town? What
causes Jack's inexplicable waking dreams, if that is what they are, of
robins' eggs and red feathers? It's almost as if someone is trying to tell
him something… As that message becomes increasingly impossible to ignore,
Jack is drawn back to the Territories and to his own hidden past, where he
may find the soul-strength to enter a terrifying house at the end of a
deserted track of forest, there to encounter the obscene and ferocious
evils sheltered within it…
