Bryson City was not a town to be known for unexpected murders and attacks in the woods. Nor was it known for the supernatural or paranormal.
Or was it?
After being diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses, 17 year old Skylar Cross' life becomes even more chaotic after seeing visions of the dead.
When she thought it couldn't get any worse, she meets Caleb Thompson. A boy with many secrets, one that might just hold the key to another world.
Though a few might just have to die in order to get there first.
This is the story of many things. A story of multiple people who face their own inner demons, as well as the ones that control them.
