Name: Cassidy Porter is the son of Maine's most notorious serial killer, Paul Isaac Porter, who murdered women up and down the I-95 corridor for years. On Cassidy's 8th birthday, the police come to arrest his father, who is subsequently murdered in prison. Pariahs in small-town society, Cassidy and his mother move off-the-grid to a small cabin in the northern Maine woods. His mother becomes obsessed with DNA and genetics and begs Cassidy never to procreate so that his father's genes die with him. But Cassidy is thoughtful, soulful and romantic, and this promise becomes almost impossible to keep when he falls in love with an injured hiker.
