Old wounds are stirred when a missing American tourist washes up on the notorious Dog Island. His body is half eaten and the people of Rabbit Fall are convinced the Weetigo?a creature who takes over humans' souls and turns them into cannibals?is back. The discovery coincides with the return of John Spence, a child killer who cannibalized his victim in one of Rabbit Fall's most haunting crimes. Fear morphs into frenzy and a group of vigilantes sets out to destroy the alleged Weetigo before he strikes again. The case spirals out of control when Tara brings Spence into protective custody.
