When a violent murderer escapes Crooked Creek Correctional under circumstances that defy logic, Internal Affairs investigator Jonah Slade is thrust into a hunt that spirals far beyond steel doors and razor wire. As bodies turn up in the swamps known as the bottoms-torn apart with an animal's savagery-whispers of glowing eyes, impossible strength, and something hunting by moonlight begin to surface. The official story demands a monster, and the system is eager to provide one, but Slade senses a deeper rot beneath the surface. Haunted by loss and driven by instinct, he follows a trail of lies, trauma, and blood toward a truth no one wants to face: sometimes the real terror isn't a monster in the dark, but what happens when fear, grief, and trauma create one.
