Force of nature.
About
When CDC researcher Abby Arcane returns to her childhood home of Marais, Louisiana, she is tasked with investigating a mysterious and aggressive swamp-born illness that is ravaging the local community. As she delves deeper into the scientific origins of the pathogen, she forms an unlikely alliance with Alec Holland, a brilliant but disgraced biologist who is obsessed with the hidden properties of the local wetlands. Their investigation pulls them into the heart of the bayou, a place where the line between natural science and ancient, inexplicable magic begins to blur. The deeper they venture into the dense, suffocating wilderness, the more they realize that the marshlands are not just a collection of water and vegetation, but a sentient, protective force harboring dangerous, prehistoric secrets. As terrifying, supernatural occurrences begin to plague the townspeople and shadowy figures emerge from the muck to safeguard the swamp’s domain, Abby finds herself caught in a desperate struggle for survival. With the town becoming increasingly volatile and the environment itself turning hostile, Abby must reconcile her rational scientific worldview with the growing evidence that something truly primal and incomprehensible has awakened beneath the murky waters, threatening to consume anyone who dares to uncover the truth.
