A bizarre death perplexes an East Texas sheriff. The investigation takes a personal turn. A string of local monstrosities hold the key, but does the sheriff really want to unlock the truth?

Sometimes it's ignorance, prejudice and fear. Sometimes it's your friends and neighbors. Sometimes it's the town you grew up in.
