Triston Finch is a fifteen year old boy who lives in a small rural town in the north of England. He swims, studies and hangs out with his friends and boyfriend... Just a normal modern teenager. 
In October, he goes missing. A series of mysterious events lead to the uncovering of the broken form of Triston, unconscious and barely alive. Some want him dead. Some just want him hurt, and a few are trying to discover what happened on that cold autumn night when Triston didn't come home. 

Enter Jenny Pace (except that isn't her name anymore,)- Triston's former primary school teacher. She and a handful of family and friends are determined to not let whoever is behind this get away.

But there's a larger power they are unaware of: he lurks deep in the blackness and uses puppets to carry out his bidding. No one can be trusted anymore but no one knows what HE wants.  

*I haven't finished this yet so these will be mainly promos and snippits. Hope you enjoy, but all characters are original. In progress- slow updates*
