For as long as he can remember, Paul has looked after his younger, weaker brother Sam. But when Sam leaves home to work as a research assistant in Watertown, he disappears into the dark folds of the city's noxious slum. Accustomed to shielding his brother from bullies back home, sixteen-year-old Paul refuses to let him vanish without a trace.
A frantic phone call reveals a dark mystery: Sam has fled his lab, obsessed with a dangerous biological experiment. Trading his suburban life for the docks, Paul meets an ominous reality-unmarked helicopters circle overhead, hunting for his brother.
When Paul goes looking for Sam in Watertown, he learns a dark secret: something in the water is changing the residents of Watertown, transforming them into something inhuman. But can Paul reach Sam before the dark waters get to him first?
- Forced Proximity: Stranded in the harbor slum, Paul takes refuge in a tapestry-lined stilt house with Monica Shanks, a streetwise pickpocket whose family is bound to the lake.
- Survival Thriller: Ruthless Cityweb operatives scour the waterways, armed and determined to bury every witness to the bioengineered contamination.
- Race Against Time: Deep within the rotting prison hulk of Rat Castle, a skeletal survivor wired to circulating tubes of toxic runoff readies a lethal new strain.
- Sibling Dynamics: Driven by guilt over failing his brother in the past, Paul must navigate a web of betrayal before Sam tests the irreversible mutation on himself.
- Also by This Author: Airborn, Skybreaker and Starclimber.
