Within his body is a bioengineered nightmare, a horror that spreads faster than fear. He is shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry-a man in unspeakable torment who exposes Tim and the boys to something far more frightening than any ghost story. An unexpected intruder, stumbling upon their campsite like a wild animal. But for some reason, he can't shake the feeling that something strange is in the air this year. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there-which makes Scoutmaster Tim's job a little easier. There's Kent, one of the most popular kids in school Ephraim and Max, also well liked and easygoing then there's Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck.
