The Woman is the last of a tribe of feral cannibals that have long terrorized the Maine coast. Wounded and weakened, she buries herself in a cave beside the sea.

He imprisons her in his cellar and, with the aid of his family, attempts to tame her. Tension escalates as each party tests the limits of their brutality, forcing the reader to confront the idea of whether the hunter or the hunted is truly savage.
