A story of boy vs duck, and an epic battle that changes a town forever. 13-year-old Louie is angry, and he doesn’t know why. He’s quickly getting a reputation for breaking things and being the weirdest kid in Greenville, a once thriving town that is now a dust bowl where dreams go to die.

But an unexpected guest is about to roll into town... A duck. And this is no ordinary duck, this duck is mean and crazy and lives for chaos. Protecting the town from this menacing new presence might just be the purpose Louie has been waiting for. When Louie makes it his mission to take on the demon duck, his best (and only) friend Hannah with her pacifist philosophy and love of nature complicates his plan. Meanwhile Jesse, the star of the school's AFL team and biggest bully in town, is determined to make Louie’s life miserable, especially now that their parents are dating...
