In the midst of a sweltering Georgia summer, Salomon’s
eponymous protagonist, a motherless teenage outcast with no memory of the
accident that left him gruesomely scarred, wavers between succumbing to an
overwhelming sense of decay or continuing the struggle to recover his identity.
With a father who’s rarely at home, the boy finds an unlikely companion in an
incorrigible classmate, and together the two sift through secrets of Henry’s
past that have long been buried in his family’s house. As a hurricane threatens
to ravage the Georgia coast, Henry’s unsettling past is jostled back to the
present, haunting his dreams and stalking the very streets of his city.
