Three weeks. Twenty-one nights. And every single one of them is absolute hell. Following the sudden death of her father, 16-year-old Mandy Montez seeks a fresh start in the small town of Derry. But what awaits her in their new, creaking house is a living nightmare. Since the move, sleep is no longer a sanctuary. Every night, she awakens in the cemetery before her father's icy grave-trapped in a dense, unnatural fog, with two hungry, sulfur-yellow eyes staring at her from the mist. Mandy tries desperately to convince herself that her grief is playing tricks on her mind. But when the first children vanish without a trace and a sickly sweet carnival scent drifts through the streets of Derry, she realizes the true scale of the danger. An ancient, sadistic entity has awakened in the depths of the town. It has caught the scent of her fear of loss and is now breaking out of her dreams directly into reality with brutal force. The monster manipulates her senses, bringing the shadows on her bedroom walls to life, moving one step closer each night to claim the last thing Mandy has left-her little brother. Utterly isolated and entirely on her own, Mandy fears she is losing her mind, while no one in this cursed town hears her cries. She must face her worst terrors and uncover the secret of the clown before the white mist swallows her family forever. Because once the shadows catch up to you... you'll float too.

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.
