The narrative begins in 1986 during a snake-handling ceremony that ends in tragedy. Twenty years later, around 2006, the threat resurges and the story shifts to a high-stakes feud with a giant snake at the county fair and beyond.

Key locations include the Daniels family home, Screaming Hawk’s Native American trade site, and dense woods where Unteka stalks its prey. The town’s mood shifts from everyday life to a survival nightmare as the monster grows.
