The residents of Taper, Florida are surrounded by sugar cane, water and muck. Football is a way of life. When Coach Wilson, the beloved high school football coach dies, Mack returns with his wife, stepson Charlie and daughter Molly for funeral. Charlie is intrigued by the unusual town and smoking sugarcane fields. His cousin Cotton is odd, but endearing. When Mack is offered a temporary job as the football coach, Charlie knows he would rather live in this small town than in the fast pace northeast suburbia. Cotton entices him into the cane fields where they find true evil lurking that threats to possess the town. Can two teen boys prevent this evil from invading everyone's hearts?
Quite unique and exciting. Sometimes I was not sure if I was "getting all that there was to get", but it may be because we read this book over a long period of time, with weeks in between readings (We had to return it and then request it again.).
This book reveals the power of envy and storing up angry. But love and forgiveness prevail.

Warning: Charlie's first father was abusive, one swear word, evil, violence, violent riots, death
