Ellerie Downing is waiting for something to happen. Life in isolated
Amity Falls, surrounded by an impenetrable forest, has a predictable
sameness. Her days are filled with tending to her family's beehives,
chasing after her sisters, and dreaming of bigger things while her twin,
Samuel, is free to roam as he wishes.
Early town settlers fought off monstrous creatures in the woods, and
whispers that the creatures still exist keep the Downings and their
neighbors from venturing too far. When some townsfolk go missing on a
trip to fetch supplies, a heavy unease settles over the Falls.
Strange activities begin to plague the town, and as the seasons change,
it's clear that something is terribly wrong. The creatures are real, and
they're offering to fulfill the residents' deepest desires, however
grand, for just a small favor. These seemingly trifling demands,
however, hide sinister intentions. Soon Ellerie finds herself in a race
against time to stop Amity Falls, her family, and the boy she loves from
going up in flames.
