It's the peak of summer, and Ty Devereux has spent most of his life trying to keep his broken family together. It's been ten years since their death, and when his youngest brother, Ody, starts having dreams about a man made of roots and hearing music coming from the woods, Ty thinks it's just thinks it's Ody being his usual odd and strange self. Then Matt, the second-eldest brother, discovers a mutilated deer carcass not far from their house, and Aaron, the middle brother, starts drawing and painting strange creatures and symbols. That's when Ty begins to believe that something isn't right within their small town. They begin to realize that these strange occurrences aren't new; they had happened before, and something is lurking within the woods. To make matters worse, Ty finds a page torn from their grandfather's journal, hinting at an old pact that was made by their great-grandfather. Now, the Hollow Season is returning, a three-day supernatural event that only happens once every thirty years, is approaching, and the brothers must decide whether or not to honor that pact or destroy But doing either might cost them their lives.
