Summary
When rock guitarist Ash Hudson suffers a career-ending
hand injury, she seeks out the only thing that can heal
it—her hometown's darkest secret. For decades the residents of Hollow Hills, Pennsylvania,
have offered their diseased and injured body parts to a creek
demon named Snare. In return, Snare rewards its Traders with
healthy replacement parts. There's only one catch: if Traders
leave town, their new parts vanish forever. Ash wants a new hand, but living in Hollow Hills isn't an
option. Not when her band is one gig away from hitting the
big time. Desperate, she bargains with Snare, promising to
help the demon complete its organ collection in exchange for
both a new hand and the freedom for everyone to leave
town. As her band's show rapidly approaches, Ash teams up with
her estranged father in a last-ditch effort to recruit new
Traders. But not everyone trusts Snare's offer, and Ash soon
learns how far her neighbors will go to protect their
precious parts. With her family in danger and her band waiting, Ash must
find a way to help Snare. But even if she succeeds, there's
no telling what Snare plans to do with everyone's bad
parts.
