    "description": "1960s, Tennessee. Lester Ballard is a violent, solitary and introverted young backwoodsman, dispossessed on his ancestral land. Homeless, indulging in voyeurism, he is accused of rape.\n\nWhen he is released from jail, he begins to haunt the hilly landscape \u2013 preying upon its population, unleashing his impulse for sexualised violence.\n\nCommonplace humanity becomes grotesque and, as the story hurtles toward its unforgettable conclusion, McCarthy depicts the most sordid aspects of life with empathy and lyricism.",
