Eighteen years ago, Logan and Patton Croft's lives were... well, they weren't good.
Within the span of a few months, the summer of XX28, Patton killed ten people and lost his brother after his ex-boyfriend went and stabbed him in the neck. Logan found out, and then Patton was told of all that Logan had done and who he himself had murdered back in XX18.
Of course, now? That ex-boyfriend was long dead, a knife plunged into his gut, Patton only being left with a bad shoulder and half-fluency in American Sign Language to deal with his Deaf ear. That was all eighteen years ago. The couple had a son now, and their past was truly in the past.
But when their soon-to-be seventeen year old son learns about a certain Remy Cafe- a serial killer that lived in their town eighteen years ago- in school, how long is it until everything else that happened before he was born is revealed to him? And what happens when he meets the ghost that had been on his mind one foggy night on the side of the road?
But... no, that wouldn't happen. Ghosts aren't real, and Joe Croft was meant to remain in the shadows about his parent's screwed up life forever.
...
Well, that last part wouldn't be a lie if his long dead uncle had never gotten involved- but let's just say this uncle may not be exactly who you think he is...
