Virgil Knox did not want to move to Merritt, Florida thousands of miles away from his home in Seattle with his mom, boyfriend, and best friend to live with his dad and grandparents. He also did not want to get attacked by a monster at the first party he goes to in his new town. Now everyone knows him as the boy who cried monster and he earns the reputation of the town crazy. He seems pulled to Jarrett and Fin who were at the party that night even though he knows they’re no good for him Luckily he has his cousin Astrid and new friend Trip around. Virgil also finds some solace in the theatre with his drama teacher Hilly but he can’t stop feeling like there’s a monster inside him waiting to come out…
