There are bad memories there. But her twin sister, Scarlett, is pregnant, estranged from the babys father, and needs support, so Rory returns to the place she thought shed put in her rearview. After a night out at a bar where she runs into an old almost-flame, she hits a large animal with her car. And when she gets out to investigate, shes attacked. Rory survives, miraculously, but life begins to look and feel different. Shes unnaturally strong, with an aversion to silverand suddenly the moon has her in its thrall. Shes changing into someone elsesomething else, maybe even a monster. But does that mean shes putting those close to her in danger? Or is embracing the wildness inside of her the key to acceptance? A darkly comedic, part horror, part love story and a brilliantly layered portrait of trauma, rage, and vulnerability.
