When a boy in her town starts claiming that a demon is stalking him, Alecto Landry has no choice but to investigate. After all, that's exactly what her brother Lucas said, right before he died. Soon, Alecto's investigation leads her to a far-reaching conspiracy - with two warring factions at its heart - as she uncovers a sinister underbelly to her small seaside town. Armed only with her razor-sharp wit and a talent for getting into trouble, Alec endures threats and kidnappings, and even the spark of a new romance, in order to get to the truth. But can she handle the truth or will the twisted darkness at the heart of the mystery destroy her as well?
