Some monsters are born. Others are made.
When sixteen year old Max Abercrombie's family uproots him from Dublin to the quiet town of Cultford, he's determined to hate everything about it. The sleepy streets. The watchful neighbours. But beneath the town's silence lurks a terror that has fed for forty years, a killer or killers, the police can't stop, the townspeople won't name. As Max is drawn into a circle of new friends, he begins to see the cracks in Cultford's façade. In a town where the past is buried deep and the feast never truly ends, Max must decide what kind of monster he wants to become.
