Rabid is to humans what King's Cujo was to dogs.
Nestled among shady pines, a pair of brothers splash in a babbling brook, their faces lit up with childlike glee.
Around them, squirrels frolic in trees, and rabbits nibble on grass.
Birds sing a symphony of harmony.
Shortly after their father's death, Adam and his 14-year-old brother embark on a camping trip.
Because their father was an abusive alcoholic, they both struggle with a myriad of sentiments-sadness that he's gone, relief that the abuse is over, sorrow that they'll never experience fatherly love or pride.
Surely therapeutic nature can remedy their afflictions.
Precipitously, horror replaces their tranquil panorama.
Thrashing wildly, Adam spews obscenities, and foam bubbles from his lips.
In a paradox of iniquity, brothers become enemies, as their inner demons spring to life.
