In Bergoo, West Virginia, legends swirl and the past is never far away. A week away seems the best cure for what ails Dave Winter's marriage. He can go fishing with an old Army buddy, Mark, while his wife can visit her family. Yet the town of Bergoo isn't quite as welcoming as it first appears and it isn't long before things start to go incredibly wrong. A night of Bourbon flavored reminiscing resolves in a morning with Mark gone, strangers in the cabin and the beginning of a violent and deadly adventure. The mystery thickens when he ventures to Mark's brother's house and discovers a scene dripping with blood, body parts, and man-eating hogs. It's a mystery only the man who 'blew up Sarasota' can solve... if he can survive long enough to figure it out.
