In the quiet town of Hollow Creek, an unassuming factory hides a dark secret. Dean Laboratories, a leading employer in the area, claims to be advancing medical research—but beneath this facade, they’re pushing the boundaries of genetic manipulation. When several of their experiments escape, terror is unleashed as the bodies of local residents are found savagely mauled. Rick Green, a Miami police officer, returns to his hometown after his father, Conrad Green, is brutally killed. The coroner blames a bear or large cat, but something far more sinister is at play.

Cole has heard it all before - token, bougie, oreo, Blackish - the things we call the kids like him. Black kids who grow up in white spaces, living at an intersection of race and class that many doubt exists. He needed to get far away from the preppy site of his upbringing before he could make sense of it all. Through a series of personal anecdotes and interviews with his peers, Cole transports us to his adolescence and explores what it's like to be young and in search of identity.
