Both teams get off to a strong start, but it isn't long before they become aware that there's something odd about this scavenger hunt. Tracie's team consists of Paula (Joe's girlfriend, who's been angry since his death), and Rick (Paula's genius younger brother, who's in a wheelchair due to muscular dystrophy). The scavenger hunt at least gives them one last chance to interact before she leaves for college, although some of their team members make things awkward.Ĭarl's team consists of Cessy, her brother Davey, and Tom (Carl's brain-injured former football player friend). Tracie has had a crush on Carl for a while, but she's shy, and then Joe's death happened, and she and Carl just sort of drifted apart. Tracie would have liked to have had Carl on her team, but unfortunately Cessy managed to ask him first. The only reason he's at all excited about the scavenger hunt that's about to begin is because Cessy, a sexy newcomer, has asked him to be on her team. His best friend Joe was killed in a freak flood nearly a year ago, and he's basically just been existing since then. Then the book switches over to Carl, a young man living in a nearly dead desert town. He takes refuge in a church, where he tells the priest his story. This book begins with a cryptic scene of a young man running from something, possibly either a demon or a cult.
