When he sets his students a paper entitled 'The Most Evil Person', he expects essays on historical tyrants and literary villains. He doesn't expect Eddie Miller's choice - his own father. Throughout his life, Eddie has been known as 'The Coed Killer's Son', because when Eddie was eight years old, his father killed a local college student, dismembered her body, and buried the pieces in a local forest. Eddie's investigation of his own father's dark secrets steadily widens until, ultimately, it encompasses the whole town.
