Nebulon, a sleepy little Florida town. It had never known trouble, never expected it from its smallest, most innocent residents-the children. But something awful was growing in the youngest minds. It began with a child's brutal attack on her mother's lover. A pet obscenely mutilated. A baby drowned in the lake. A man blinded, then savagely stabbed to death.
