After his brother disappears in the Himalayas, Cursed Mountain , Eric Simmons reluctantly heads off to the village of Lhando, his last known location. He has arranged to meet with his brother's employer - but the town is completely deserted. What's more, everything has been abandoned, and bodies lie rotting in the streets. The locals were desperate to get away from someone... or some thing - but who or what? Only by exploring Lhando and the mountain, Chomolonzo, will Eric find the answers he seeks, and hopefully, his brother.
