An eleven-year-old boy lives an idyllic childhood exploring the
remote coastal plains and wetlands of South Carolina alongside his
parents and his dog Teach. But when the boy's eerie and estranged
grandfather shows up one day with no warning, cracks begin to
form as hidden secrets resurface that his parents refuse to explain.
The longer his grandfather outstays his welcome and the greater
the tension between the adults grows, the more the boy feels
something within him changing?physically?into something his
grandfather welcomes and his mother fears. Something abyssal.
Something monstrous.
