My parents are dead. My twin brother Ethan and I are in a foster family. My earbuds can't fill the silence mom and dad left behind. I can't laugh. I can't sing. Ethan's corny jokes can't make me smile. And to top it all off, in our very first week with our new family, we're moving to the most boring town to ever exist; Normal Valley. Into the least normal house imaginable.; Someplace Else. And the mayor himself shows up on our doorstep, telling us we should move out. ~•~ Dear dairy, It's me again. Iva. This may be my final entry. My foster parents are running an errand, two of my brothers have soccer practice. Of all the kids, they chose me to stay and keep an eye on things. I'm gonna be all alone. With the person who's been making the music. I might as well write my will. Hold on a sec, someone's at the door. ~•~ Dear diary, I laughed today. I was right; the singer is a ghost. But still not what I was expecting. My new friend the Maestro makes music. Just like my mom did. He makes me laugh, just like dad did. He's infuriating and awesome. ~•~ Dear diary, The Maestro ruined my love life. Sure, Brennan is the Mayor's son, but that doesn't mean he's a bad person. All Brennan does is ask me to kiss him. Bam. Lights go out. He offers to drive me home. I turn my back for one second. Brennan is dancing and he can't stop. I wish Maestro would get out of my life. ~•~ Dear diary, Maestro was right. Brennan couldn't be trusted...

    Willow Wing, Oklahoma. An unincorporated community surrounded by a large security gate, Willow Wing has been home to families and businesses long before it was officially recognized on maps in 1998. During the day, Willow Wing is peaceful. The businesses are open. Residents go about their lives. Visitors come and go from nearby towns. But when the gates close for the night, everything changes. Five security guards are responsible for keeping the community safe until morning: Caleb "Cal" Mercer, Darius "Dare" Coleman, Mason "Kid" Reed, Mateo "Teo" Ramirez, and Jolene "Jo" McAllister. They've been friends and coworkers for years, and now they're beginning their first night shift together. With their four-legged partners, Boone, a Giant Schnauzer, and Randy, a Beauceron, they patrol the empty streets, monitor the businesses, respond to alarms, and make sure nobody who shouldn't be inside the gates remains there after dark. At first, the job seems simple. Then strange things begin happening. Some encounters have perfectly reasonable explanations. Others don't. Some people inside Willow Wing aren't supposed to be there at all. And sometimes, the guards can't agree on what they saw. Because once the gates close... Willow Wing belongs to the night.
