"You never really get over a death. It's always there, in your mind. You just grow out of the grief."
**********
Camille Sanchez moves to Springfield, in the middle of a chaotic time, looking for a fresh start for her and her sister Hazel. Cam has a rocky past that has caused her to have questions that she neither expected nor has the answers to. Her curiosity has grown heavily with every passing day, bubbling up to the surface, like a cannon ready to blow. Whether she likes it or not, it's no doubt going to cause her some trouble when the not so distinct lines of the past and present start to blur. The storyline of the events that are causing the town's normalcy to turn into havoc cause these controversial lines to intervene, and dangerously begin to affect the safety and well-being of the town's residents. 
It's all related - a huge web of confusion, where everything is connected, whether it should be or not. 

Logan Rivera is the one with all the connections. He witnessed the development of the town's horror himself, and now he sees the terrors of the town start to slowly lead to its undesired fate, and how certain things (and people)are suddenly disappearing, as if someone is planning to pick them off one by one. 

Despite how hard she tries, Cam can't get rid of the fiery feeling inside her that's telling her to do the things that even she herself can't justify.
