Eliott King's sister is dead, and so are her boyfriend and her best friend, found dead in a river, blood leaking from all over. Then more people start showing up in the river dead, and something is seriously wrong - seriously, seriously wrong.
Most of the town turns immediately to blaming a serial killer, pointing fingers at the neighbors they hate and the ones that hate them, or some freak animal, blaming the same neighbors' dogs and saying they have rabies. But Eliott's grandmother doesn't think so, and neither does Ezra Terrell, the unbearably cute kid next door, and neither does Mei Xiao, the recent transplant from China.
The four try to find out what is behind these deaths, but in doing so, they stir up old conflicts that run deeply in Troy, Vermont - conflicts that could kill them and everything and everyone they care about and love.
