It is 1965, and in Holloman, Connecticut, someone is preying on the innocent. At the Hug, a prestigious research centre for the neurosciences, parts of a body are discovered. Soon, Lieutenant Carmine Delmonico of the Holloman Police learns of a string of horrifying disappearances throughout the state. Then another body is found. With the Hug's hierarchies of power in turmoil, Delmonico delves into the lives and pasts of every Hugger. It is the case of his career, and he is determined to solve it. But how do you find a monster who leaves no clues and is two steps ahead
