Children of the Lottery

Deep in the drowned bayous of Louisiana, a disgraced biologist leads a secret expedition into a quarantined wetland abandoned after a catastrophic storm. Hidden beneath the black water, something has survived - and evolved. When Dr. Evelyn Hammond and her team uncover a living organism unlike anything science has ever documented, the swamp begins to reveal its terrifying nature. Equipment fails. The water changes. The darkness itself seems alive. Trapped inside the isolated maze of flooded forests and toxic basins, the team realizes they are no longer studying the ecosystem.
