Years of abuse makes Keme doubt his life could get any worse until he is turned into a windigo—a malevolent soul-collecting beast with an insatiable appetite for human flesh. Remorse over his first human kill prompts Keme to end his miserable life.  The unsuccessful attempt frees Arthur in the windigo’s internal soul-cache and their souls switch, making him the dominant, before traveling to Boston. Two souls, one body, what could go wrong?

Arthur relishes his new windigo skill-set and intends to exact revenge on Nathanial, the man responsible for ruining his mortal life, but eating him is too easy; Arthur wants to play with his food first. He wants payback and to systematically destroy everything Nathanial holds dear. 

Arthur is captivated with Loretta, Nathanial’s daughter, because she will further his vendetta, but Keme is in love. After a whirlwind marriage, Loretta realizes her husband is made up of two diametrically opposed beings. She’s too late to help her father, but not herself. Loretta outsmarts Arthur and Keme, once again, seizes control. This time does Keme’s end-game succeed?
