Every small town has its challenges; such is    their nature. But for the seemingly good people of the town of Felton, danger seems to lurk around every corner these days for those who just happen to be young.

The first incident arrived amid the blissful sights and smells of the Polk County Fair. Two girls are killed, and a young man is left fighting for his life. Authorities soon learn it was no accident. The community is still reeling from the first calamity, when another shock hits them: the high school’s cheerleading team's second-in-command goes missing.

Initially, the police are clueless, but they soon get a tip that leads them to the killer’s whereabouts. The motive and method will stun the most astute reader as much as they stunned the people of Felton.

In a way only close-knit communities can, the people of Felton rally around the injured and comfort those who lost their children. The town is determined to heal, to walk hand-in-hand into the mire and come out clean on the other side. Still, for the citizens of Felton, it would appear Evil has not yet called retreat.

The Ouija. It's also called a spirit board, talking board, or witch board. A gateway to the evil side. Does this statement match reality or not? Follow your moral judgment. And whatever you do, don’t ever play alone. That rule was never made clear to Heather Lewis, who was sixteen years old.

Heather and her family relocated to a new rural home. As she was settling in, a bright flash from the top shelf of her closet drew her attention. She had never tried an Ouija Board before, but she was curious. Was it really magical, or was that just a legend she’d always heard?

Peter Hanes―the former sheriff of the town―was called back from limbo by Heather’s curiosity. He had to persuade her to assist him with some unresolved matters so he could join his wife, Mary.

Heather believes Peter's story of complex lies and unfairness, and soon sees she's at risk. She still wants to exchange her chance of survival for Peter's possibility to reunite with his wife in the afterlife.

 Fourteen-year-old Ashley desperately wants to have a relationship with her biological father (Peter) despite his abandoning her before she was born. She is indifferent to his absence for birthdays, holidays, and other events. She cares only about the present, but her mother, Jean, refuses to ignore it. She won't allow Peter to break their daughter's heart as he did her many years ago.

Ashley's resentment of her mom causes her to lash out and, unfortunately, lands her in a world of drugs and turmoil. Her behavior spirals out of control, and her entire persona transforms. Jean is overwhelmed by Heaven’s (her older daughter) possible risk and has no patience left.

Dick, Ashley's brother, steals from a notorious drug dealer while Ashley is with him. The dealer shoots at Dick's house in revenge. The police hide Dick and his family, but their location is leaked. Can they survive the threat?

However, fate had other plans for them. Three years later, Dexter's carefully kept secret was unexpectedly revealed when Carol, a woman he had met at a party, moved back to town following the untimely demise of her husband. The shock and confusion that followed brought out unexpected feelings and emotions in both Carmen and Dexter.

Carmen struggled with whether or not she could trust Dexter after his secret came to light, but little did he know, he wasn't the only one keeping secrets. As they navigated through the chaos and turmoil, it became apparent that Carmen had a secret of her own that would also be revealed.

Amidst all the revelations and heartache, one question remained: would their love be able to weather the storm? Or would the weight of their secrets tear them apart forever?
