Abused both physically and emotionally by the children in the small southern town where he was raised, Danny finds his only escape as a young adult in his romance with a local schoolteacher named Gilly. But fate leads Hawkins down a dark road when, in self-defense, he accidentally kills a wealthy young dandy who has tormented him since his schoolyard days. Now Danny is on the run, as much afraid of the blood that runs inside him as he is of the blood on his hands. Forced to give up his precious Gilly and his mentor Old Mose, Danny flees into the murky swamp to face down his past once and for all. [More]
