Fourteen-year-old Kevin expects a routine summer visit with his mother in Florida, but when she abandons him to her shady relative, Uncle Darien, in the remote swamps, his vacation turns into a nightmare of survival. Thrust into a ragtag group of neglected kids living off the grid, Kevin discovers Darien's ruthless world of illegal alligator poaching, where danger lurks in every murky waterway and human lives are expendable bait.

DAVID LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL KID. Average face. Average height. Average everything. EXCEPT ONE THING. He’s the greatest liar on the planet, and he doesn’t lie to get out of trouble; he lies because it’s the coolest feeling in the world. He’s faked exploding helicopters, secret-agent dads, three dead grandmas, and a hamster prison break so epic the whole school cried. Everyone believes him. Teachers. Friends. Even his own mom. Until one tiny lie goes wrong and his best friend Tyler finally figures it out.
