In a quiet American suburb, 11-year-old Lucas Carter recounts a nightmare that shaped — and nearly ended — his life. When the charming new biology teacher, Mr. Julian Shaw, arrives at Lucas’s school, no one suspects the darkness he brings with him. Disappearances begin: first Emily Parker, then Lucas Bennett. As parents panic and the town locks down, Lucas stumbles upon the horrifying truth: Mr. Shaw isn’t just teaching biology — he’s practicing it, dissecting young lives for his own sinister appetite. After a terrifying encounter, Lucas wakes from a five-year coma, his body broken but his mind haunted. Why did Mr. Shaw let him live? And is the nightmare truly over… or is the lesson only just beginning?
