If a bigfoot dies in the forest, but no one is there to see, does it still leave a body? When 16-year-old Piper O'Connell moved with her family to the quaint town of Senoia, Georgia, she never expected to find a community of the legendary bigfoot in her own backyard. Now, a few short months later, she is playing a vital role in keeping the creatures secret from human hunters who would expose them. Not that she wants the job. It's dangerous, the hours stink, and bigfoot look down on the "scrubs" who dispose of their dead. The job's only perk is Sam, her tall, dark, handsome, and genetically complicated partner. When someone close to Sam is murdered, Piper must find the killer before Piper herself becomes the next victim and the race of bigfoot is discovered.
