Lapped by the gentle waters of Locust Lake, the small town of Tranquility, Maine, seems like the perfect spot for Dr. Claire Elliott to shelter her adolescent son, Noah, from the distractions of the city and the lingering memory of his father's death. But with winter's first chill comes shocking news that puts her practice on the line: a teenage boy under her care has committed an appalling act of violence. And as Claire and all of Tranquility soon discover, it is just the start of a chain of lethal outbursts among the town's teenagers.
As the rash of disturbing behavior grows, Claire uncovers a horrifying secret in Tranquility's history. Twice a century, the children lash out with deadly violence. Claire suspects a biological cause behind the epidenic, and she fears that placid Locust Lake may conceal an insidious danger. As she races to save the town and her son from harm, Claire discovers an even greater threat: a shocking conspiracy to manipulate nature and turn innocents to slaughter.
