When Declin Ostrander arrives in Lickskillet, South Carolina, he encounters a town on edge: a horrible hate crime has taken place in the richest gated community and the citizens have adopted extreme caution and political correctness. The lynching coincides with a series of strange occurrences, as well as the arrival of a corporate lawyer to defend the accused-a lawyer who happens to be Declin's father.

Although the story imagines the South as a mix of heritage groups, social segregation, and corrupt politics, at the center stand the disaffected and aloof teens of Lickskillet whom Declin befriends as they crusade against the humid hum of boredom with reckless mischievousness, post-modern apathy, and an attempt at redeeming humanity.
