When convicted murderer Alexander Youngblood vanishes from a maximum-security prison without a trace, Internal Affairs investigator Jonah Slade is called in to answer one question: How the hell did he get out? The evidence only leads to more questions. Now the manhunt is spilling into the swamps and flooded timber surrounding Crooked Creek Correctional, where Slade and U.S. Deputy Marshal Sarah Lawson discover they may not be the only ones tracking the fugitive. Something is moving through the bottoms. Animals are disappearing. Hunters are afraid. Search dogs inexplicably lose the trail. And twenty-year-old Andy Rickly swears he was attacked by a creature in the woods that no one believes exists. Then Andy starts having nightmares. He dreams of running beneath the moon. He dreams of hunting. He dreams of blood. And every morning, the dreams feel a little more like memories. As Slade closes in on Youngblood, a prison escape becomes a hunt for the truth, and the deeper he ventures into the darkness, the more one terrifying question refuses to go away: Is there a monster hiding in these woods...or is the monster one of them? EYESHINE. Some monsters are all too human.
