Jim Brown

On the night of the raging electrical storm, a group of teenage boys gather on a secluded hill in Black Valley, Oregon to bury one of their own . . .alive. It isn't murder. The ‘victim’ is a willing participant. Whitey Dobbs giggles as dirt strikes the top of his coffin, snickering in reply to each flat, dull, thump. The coffin shakes then settles. The sound recedes, dirt on wood, dirt on dirt, becoming fainter, farther, until –– nothing. Quiet as a grave. The laughter comes in waves. The 17 year old is not afraid. It's just a gang initiation stunt –– a simple hazing. Hell, they even gave him a radio –– piece of cake . Then the music stops interrupted by news of a horrible accident –– four people dead –– the same people who put Dobbs in the ground -- the only people who know where he is. Whitey Dobbs begins to scream. But the broadcast is a fake. The boys are still alive and have just pulled off the ultimate hazing, or so they think until they dig up the grave and find . . . an empty coffin. 22-years later: the events of that stormy night are a distant memory. The boys are now respected men living successful, if not happy lives, including Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Dean Truman. But now strange and terrifying things are happening. Phenomena that seem to defy science. Whitey Dobbs is back and he hasn't changed a bit . . . literally!
