There is something in the water in Swanson, Minnesota.
Small towns will band together over the smallest issue—a levy they don’t like, a high school football game, a social media post gone viral—but, for some reason, Swanson has no answer for what lives in its river. But this story isn’t about a monster; it’s about a family and a quest for answers. And, in some ways, it’s about the deals we make to get by.
But that’s the thing about bargains—someone always comes to collect.
