Hurricane Creek: From the Shadows of Newton County
Worlds collide in Hurricane Creek, a dark Southern-gothic comedy-thriller about survival, bad decisions and what happens when a wild cast of characters cross the wrong kind of backwoods family.
Four close friends out for their annual late-summer escape. Deep in a forest paradise of waterfalls and wildlife, mushrooms and weed dissolve the boundaries of reality. Nights under the stars make even the simplest meal feel like a feast—but the forest doesn’t forgive carelessness, and paradise has a way of turning dangerous when you least expect it.
Recently out of prison and in need to make some real money, Delmont Tyler returns to the dysfunctional family farm after his grandfather’s disappearance. He strives to take what his grandfather started and bring it into the modern world. With the help of his family, he is ready to launch their new service from the farm. The secluded homestead sits along Hurricane Creek in Newton County, home to generations of Tyler's who’ve always found ways to make ends meet—legal or not. After all, the Tyler farm has always been the place where people’s problems tend to disappear—for a price.
Paradise can become a nightmare in an instant on Hurricane Creek. Dark ambition and old family methods meet head on with youthful recklessness in this hard-bitten Southern Gothic thriller about bloodlines, buried tradecraft, and the cost of feeding what you can’t afford to feed forever. Fans of
Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Moore, and David Wong will find the dark humor and slow burn familiar—and the consequences far darker than expected.
