Nothing is ever normal in Old Mill, NC, particularly when Cletus J. Diggs and his buddy Jasper decide to go fishing. When Jasper tells him two fishermen they know saw a dinosaur in The Great Dismal Swamp, Cletus is ready to chalk it up to shadows and too much beer. Then he and Jasper are out fishing themselves and find a bass boat jammed nose-first into the bottom of the Perquimans River with nothing left of the other two men but a boot with a leg protruding from it and one big-assed track in the mud, and things get serious. Joined by Geoffrey Bullfinch, Wendell "Mack" Macklemore, and Isabella Ferrara from O.C.L.T., two genetic scientists with a strange story of hurricanes and DNA splicing, and a strange cast of others (including a very loud cockatiel), Cletus has to solve the mystery of where the monster killing people in the swamp came from, where it's gone, and how to stop it before it kills again. Unfortunately for the team, taking down a forty-foot, sixteen-ton dinosaur no one believes in is no easy task, and the clock is ticking . . . This is the fifth story in the O.C.L.T. series.
