They came from the darkness, and they've been lingering around ever since.

When a loving family from Philly first move into Noxville County, everything seems perfect, peaceful, and even delightful. The community is caring and respectful, and the schools house more than any teenager could ever ask for.

But all is not true. The Atkins hear of something rather unusual . . . a child, no more than seven, had gone missing the week before. Vanished without a trace.

Together, the community work together to try find him, but to no avail. The answer is somewhere . . . somewhere in an old factory by Beachstreet.

And the culprits know no bounds . . .

The shadow people are here . . . and God knows what will happen once the lights go out.
