The lion mysteriously arrives at the Smoky Mountains Zoo in Knoxville, Tn. in the care of Stedman, the now sadistic man that lost his leg and the only person in America aware that the lion is a vicious killer Stedman's nephew Jebidiah, the care-taker who witnessed his Uncle's daily revenge on the lion, befriends the beast. Jeb, abused and illiterate, never knowing kindness or love from others, discovers his Uncle's secret. Soon, the only thing that matters is BRUTUS. The name given to the Great Cat.... The one word that trembled upon Jeb's lips at night, in near ecstasy. Obsessed with the lion, he would do whatever was necessary to keep them together, forever. Yet, only one thing could possibly keep Jeb from his lion: The annoying Australian born cop named Cleary, who suspects, yet is powerless to stop him. For Jeb, it's a problem that could only be solved with blood.... When Jeb helps Brutus escape into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited park in America, the largest search in United States history horrifies the country as the deaths' mount in the mysterious, mist covered hills. "Brutus" is a thrilling and unforgettable story of deception, pain, terror and death
