The boys are a tight-knit crew. There’s Kent, one of the most popular kids in school; Ephraim and Max, also well-liked and easygoing; then there’s Newt the nerd and Shelley the odd duck. For the most part, they all get along and are happy to be there – which makes Scoutmaster Tim’s job a little easier. But for some reason, he can’t shake the feeling that something strange is in the air this year. Something wicked . . .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt comes to them in the night. An unexpected intruder, stumbling upon their campsite like a wild animal. He is shockingly thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry – a man in unspeakable torment who exposes Tim and the boys to something far more frightening than any ghost story. Within his body is a bioengineered nightmare, a horror that spreads faster than fear. One by one, the boys will do things no person could ever imagine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd so it begins. An agonizing weekend in the wilderness. A harrowing struggle for survival. No possible escape from the elements, the infected . . . or one another.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Book Studio","offers":[{"title":"Just the book","offer_id":51575328244008,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Add to: Blind Date or Collection","offer_id":51575328276776,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0966\/7368\/files\/81MH4rPoFqL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774316847","url":"https:\/\/thebookstudio.co\/products\/the-troup","provider":"The Book Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
