Summary

In Florida there is a man, a predator lying in wait. He’s got a long criminal record and a boat that’s not quite 30 feet. He owns a dark blue jeep Cherokee and uncontrollable violent urges. In this man, this predator’s past, are the image of his father, hanging by his neck, swaying in the basement. When he closes his eyes at night he recounts the memory of jumping in his father’s grave. Slamming his hands on the coffin.
