Would you sacrifice a part of yourself in order to survive?

For Des, a barista in Portland, Maine in the 90s, survival means enduring a supernatural earthquake that traps her and her friends in an underground punk bar. It means confronting the systems that don’t want them to exist; including the things that seem to be trapped in there with them.

Weird things happen sometimes.

Leo Bates knows what’s behind every corner in her hometown, where she’s lived her whole life. Some disjointed memories and grief for her late parents, sure, but nothing dangerous. Nothing unexplainable.

But the familiar becomes strange the longer you look at it. When Tate Mulder goes missing and Leo is pinned as the prime suspect, she can only watch as the town she thought she knew deteriorates around her. She is forced to confront the truth about her parents, Eston, and her relationship if she is to survive an onslaught of conspiracies, cryptic monstrosities, and whatever is hiding in the woods where Tate was last seen. Finding the girl she loves may be the only way to restore balance to Eston — if such a thing ever existed to begin with.
