When young Harry Crane discovers a mutilated body bound to a tree with barbed wire in the river bottoms, everyone is scared of the consequences. The whites fear a renegade Negro; the blacks fear a vengeful massacre or, if the killer is white, that the white man's law will let him slip through its fingers. But Harry has his own theory. He believes the murderer is the Goat Man, an East Texas monster of legend who lurks beneath the swing bridge on the Sabine River.
As the bodies mount up, an elderly black man is lynched, and both blacks and whites are terrorised. Harry's father, the local constable, whose liberal attitudes bring their own danger, searchers for the killer - who may be a lot closer than anyone thinks . . .
