The story
What it's about
Follows Eric Goode’s first love, reptiles, into the dark underworld of exotic animal smuggling. He begins with the industry’s legendary founders, Hank Molt and Tommy Crutchfield, who sold some of the world’s rarest reptiles to America’s biggest zoos. After an epic smuggling trip goes wrong, Hank lands in prison, clearing the way for Tommy to monopolize the industry. But when Hank gets out, his bitterness over Tommy’s success prompts a gruesome revenge that will change the reptile world forever.
