The glowing white of its bulbous eyes were shinier than any moon, brighter than any sun, pure in its evilness. Every normal, close-knit town has its own distressing secrets and tales - but none as dreadful as a small town in South Wales. This small town, with a canal running through it alongside the wastelands, hides a terrible secret no one dares talk about. The only thing the town residents tell out-of-towners and their children, is… Nobody goes there. Nobody goes there (to the canal) for a very good reason. Something evil lives down there. However, the children are foolish and allow their imaginations and curiosity to get the better of them, not heeding the stern warnings of the older, wiser residents, and go to the canal in spite of what they have been told. The creature feeds of the flesh of the living. Unable to emerge from its hiding place in the daylight (because too much exposure will kill, like the others of its kind), the creature must wait with ravenous patience for its next meal. It has waited a long time and is now starving hungry. When two people close to Owen and Dorothy become the most recent victims of this real-life nightmare, they take it upon themselves to overcome their paralysing fears and confront the evil that has terrorised and killed many innocent people in the hundred years it has lurked beneath the grimy waters in their hometown. Can they succeed where many other brave residents have failed? Or will they be two more names on the ever-growing list of the dead?
