The Arrangement: Part Five
For four generations, one family guarded a terrifying secret deep in the North Georgia mountains. But one man refused to believe—until something stepped into his headlights.
In Part Five, Jimmy's family history takes a chilling turn as his father, Robert, becomes the first person in generations to challenge everything his family believes about the creatures living on their land. After returning from military service in 1946, Robert dismisses the stories as mountain superstition.
That changes in October 1947, when he witnesses an enormous, humanlike figure walking upright through an abandoned logging cut in broad daylight. For months, he struggles to explain what he saw. Then, on a lonely mountain road in February 1948, something follows his truck through the darkness—and finally steps into the headlights.
The story then moves into the 1950s, when Jimmy is born and begins growing up on the family's isolated 80-acre property. Strange household rules, mysterious food disappearances, and his grandfather's secret trips into the woods raise questions nobody will answer.
But when seven-year-old Jimmy discovers enormous, five-toed footprints along a creek, the family's carefully guarded secret begins to unravel. And one moonlit night in August 1959, Jimmy looks out his bedroom window and sees something watching the house from beyond the garden.
What has this family been living alongside for nearly half a century? And why have they gone to such extraordinary lengths to keep it hidden?
