Jack Hops is nostalgic of his past. He misses new Orleans but the old house was swept away by Katrina. The hurricane. They've spent some time with aunt Sheeran in Brooklyn and now they've finally gotten a break to start a new life in a town far west, Milestone of Custody Rock, but Jack isn't pretty thrilled about starting over. Again. Despite being a recluse, Jack makes new acquaintances: Emelia Signora, Cornelian Kincade and Nicole Leonar; however, Jack will soon come to realize that there's more to the town than the festivals and smiles. There is a parallel world and a thin line dividing the two planes of existence. One riddled with secrets and threads of an ancient history wrapped in a past trauma of one fateful night. A tale of love, deceit and greed but as Jack and his new found friends -together with the WatchTower- quest into the unknown realms to save their world from being consumed by a dark force, Jack discovers they have sinister secrets as well.
