Ex-con Eddie Cleary gets a job working on his older brother's isolated farm. It's not long before bizarre things start happening--dead birds falling out of the sky, family pets attacking their owners, strange apparitions beginning to appear, and people who had been "normal" suddenly going insane.

A dark Southern tale of a twelve-year-old boy who is introduced into the world of cockfighting by his overbearing father against the wishes of his caring mother.
