Billy Howton is a shy high schooler in a small town facing two big problems: a painful crush and a relentless bully. Too afraid to act, Billy is helpless to get Penny to notice him or to get his nemesis, Brad, to leave him alone.
But when a vicious monster is accidentally released from an old mine shaft deep within the mountain overlooking Billy's quiet town, he finds himself thrust into a struggle for survival he's not prepared for.
As the monster terrorizes the town, leaving a massive trail of bodies in its wake, Billy will have to overcome his fear in order to save his town from the most determined and deadly predator the town--and the planet--has ever seen.
