Seventeen-year-old Brandon knows Bayou Edge, Mississippi, better than anyone. The cracked sidewalks, the sagging porches, the smell of swamp water drifting into every classroom-it's the kind of place that pretends to be ordinary. Brandon pretends too, hiding his sharp humor behind a wall of indifference.
But when his classmates begin to disappear, one by one, the jokes don't land the same. The town whispers about gators and accidents, but Brandon sees the cracks widening. Something isn't right. Something is moving in the shadows of the cypress trees, watching, waiting.
The adults won't talk. The sheriff smiles too wide. And Halloween looms, carrying with it an unease Brandon can't shake. The deeper he searches for the truth, the more he uncovers a hidden world beneath Bayou Edge-a world where legends walk, and survival demands choices no seventeen-year-old should have to make.
As the nights grow colder and the disappearances mount, Brandon realizes the scariest part isn't what's out there in the swamp. It's what he might have to become in order to face it.
