In the north Georgia mountains, the Vandiver family roams wild and pretty much free to do what they like. Many say that in the early 1900s, Mrs. Vandiver gave birth to an enormous infant son, but that by some accident in delivery, the boy's head was forever misshapen. This "Vandiver Man" still haunts lower Appalachia -- a giant of a human with a proportionately tiny head -- angry and vindictive at a world that has shunned him and fled.
Vandiver Man's revenge story brings the ugly, brutal sagas of intra-familial southern strife to bear in the same way that October SEC football re-opens old wounds.
