Standing only 4' 10”, tabloid reporter Fiona Pelligatti is 80 pounds of pure New York attitude, and is not at all happy, either with her job or her life in general; her obnoxious boss ordering her all the way to the little West Virginia town of Point Pleasant to investigate an alleged attack by the local monster “Mothman” is just the icing on the cake. Needless to say, she doesn't appreciate being dispatched to the middle of nowhere on a wild goose chase.

Deputy Luke Carter is just marking time; his life was buried two years before, along with the bodies of his wife and their unborn child. All he has left is protecting and serving the people in his county, and the liquor he relies on to dull the pain that won't go away. The last thing he needs is some smart-ass big city reporter making the people of Point Pleasant look like fools.

When the sheriff assigns Luke as Fiona's driver, neither of them is exactly thrilled with the arrangement, but they're pushed together by necessity when the original sighting leads to disappearances, cattle mutilations, Satanic cults, UFOs, and mysterious – and extremely dangerous – men in black. Uncovering a government conspiracy dating back to the days of H.P. Lovecraft, they discover there are some secrets people are willing to kill to protect. In a tiny river town, the very fabric of time, space, and the universe itself has started to unravel.

Because the 'Mothman' is only the tip of the dark cosmic iceberg; there are other, far more deadly monsters out there, and a few of them are even human...more or less.
