A 17-year-old leaves his Shreveport, Louisiana, home one morning in 1971 and nobody ever sees him again. Twenty years later, a sadistic serial killer begins murdering young people throughout the South and it seems there may be a connection back to that missing boy, David Yeager. Then David Yeager’s cousin, Kelly Chance, steps in, and changes this case forever.
