SCAVENGER takes us on a roller-coaster ride as Frank Balenger, the resolute but damaged hero of CREEPERS, now finds himself trapped in a nightmarish game of fear and death as he leads a high-tech scavenger hunt for a decades-old time capsule. To save himself, and the woman he loves, Balenger must play by the rules of a god-like Game Master with an obession for unearthing the past. But sometimes the past is buried for a reason. As modern technology is layered over the dusty artifacts of earlier times, the result is a surreal palimpsest, one which contains the secret of survival for Balenger and a handful of unwilling players who race against the game's clock to solve the puzzle of the time capsule, only to discover that time is the true scavenger.
