      Mezi bohabojnými obyvateli městečka Bottom Springs v Louisianě se šíří strach. Tajemná upírská postava zabíjí hříšníky za bezměsíčných nocí. Nebo je to snad člověk z masa a kostí? Když je v bažině nalezena lidská lebka, místní mají jasno: příběhy o Plíživcovi nebudou pouhé povídačky. Knihovnice Ruth Cornierová se v Bottom Springs cítila vždy jako outsider. A to i přesto, že slova jejího milovaného otce, která zaznívají z kazatelny v kostele Svatého ohně, tu mají stejnou váhu jako zákon. Jenže všichni se teď více než boha a ďábla bojí pověr, které děsí celé okolí. Zdá se, že jedině Ruth a Everett, její dlouholetý kamarád s temnou minulostí, mohou odhalit tajemství a najít skutečného původce zla. Postupně k sobě mají stále blíž, souběžně se však nebezpečně stírá hranice mezi světlem a temnotou. Kam až bude Ruth ochotná zajít, aby uchránila toho, koho miluje ze všech nejvíc?
