People are disappearing again and this time no one can find the bodies. As the town's unease grows charismatic fugitive Johnny Walker arrives on the scene shedding bullet casings and stolen bank notes in his wake.He tangles himself up in Eugene's life and awakens memories Eugene thought he had laid to rest years ago. Memories of the mysterious man who followed Eugene into his dreams and memories of the bayouAnd of the horrifying entity that lurks beneath the water's surface slowly seeping into the town like a stain.
