Come close, children, & see the living crocodile. A vintage '54 Buick Roadmaster. At least, that's what it looks like... There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years
- terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders, silver grille & exotic exhaust system. Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks: mowing the lawn, washing the windows, shovelling snow; it's a boy's way of holding on to his father
- recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick. & one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B & discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers. He deserves answers. & the secret begins to stir...
