Made with Tally, the simplest way to create forms.

Jesse Vale owns almost nothing when he is released from prison—just one set of clothes, fifteen dollars in a plastic bag, and a bunch of junk he found in the lot of a Diner. He had plans to leave dust-covered Bellamy Texas, to find a real job in a real place, and finally start his real life. But when Jesse meets Ward Guillory, a handsome older man who runs the local orchard, those plans change. Ward offers him a job: Work on the orchard for five months, stay in the house on Ward’s property, earn a living, and then go on his merry way with no strings attached. Jesse accepts. What could be safer than a place like Bellamy? It is only when Jesse arrives on the property that he realizes: The house where he sleeps holds people in the walls, and the ground that he walks on has teeth.
