A sleepy little college town is no place where Savannah wants to end up, especially since her sleazy ex-boyfriend has taken up residence. The only hope she has is to aim her career higher and what better way to do that than be the first one to produce photographic proof of the legendary and illusive alligator at Tissqua Trail, a favorite local hot spot for walkers, runners, and cyclist. For Savannah, alligators don't pose a huge threat, that is until body parts start turning up. But then is it her gator she's after or is there something more sinister lurking in the woodsy swamp area of the trail. She's not a professional sleuth but her inquisitive nature puts her on the fast track to uncovering the identity of a serial killer who's been lurking in the background for years.
