Ethan wist zeker dat er in Gatlin nooit iets gebeurde. Tot hij Lena ontmoette, die hem een wereld toonde die al die tijd verborgen was gebleven. Een Gatlin dat eeuwenoude geheimen herbergde, onder de met mos bedekte bomen en afgebrokkelde trottoirs. Samen kunnen ze alles aan, maar na een tragisch sterfgeval begint Lena afstand te nemen van Ethan. Ze houdt geheimen achter die hun relatie ernstig op de proef stellen. En nu Ethan openstaat voor de duistere kant van het stadje en opgejaagd wordt door visioenen die alleen hij kan zien, is er geen weg meer terug.
