September, 1938: An angry hurricane is racing across the Atlantic as the fledgling US Weather Bureau scrambles to track the monster storm. Inexplicably, the forecasters lose sight of the typhoon, which unfathomably grows more powerful and takes direct aim at an unsuspecting New England. Even as the deadly storm approaches, on the wealthy Rhode Island summer retreat of Napatree Point, there is another kind of evil lurking. With a trail of blood marking his every eerie advance, a man of equally terrifying proportions is being hunted by lawmen dedicated to stopping the crazed murderer's killing spree since his escape days earlier from the State Prison in Wethersfield, Connecticut. No one is safe from the threat of man and nature as the insane killer and an epic hurricane descend together on the unsuspecting beaches of the Rhode Island coastline, bent on death and destruction.
