In the deeply religious southern community of Hope Falls, West Virginia, three cave-spelunking teens make a discovery that forever alters their small town’s destiny: a half-human, half-bat creature living in an abandoned coal mine.
Isolated underground for his entire existence, the so-called Bat Boy finds a home with the local veterinarian, Dr. Parker, and his family who name the creature Edgar in hopes of assimilating him into outer society and quelling his penchant for human blood.
But, as long-held secrets hidden behind the town’s Christian charity unravel, Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming’s quintessential spooky rock musical will drive the question of who the town’s monster really is.
