Description
In 1960s Dead River, Maine, Dan Thomas is drifting through a monotonous job and an uneventful life when he meets Casey White and her privileged friends at a local lake. Drawn to Casey’s unsettling beauty and enigmatic nature, Dan joins their reckless games of drinking, shoplifting, pranks, and illicit romance, even as tensions simmer beneath their carefree façade. When he encounters the scars of Casey’s troubled family history, the group’s summer of aimless pleasure takes on a darker, more ominous edge. Told in Dan’s reflective voice, this atmospheric psychological horror novel explores obsession, class resentment, buried trauma, and the dangerous consequences of treating life like a game.
