Mike works his dream job at the local bookstore. At the local the staff know his order - especially Sean, the waiter who has a special smile just for Mike and, after years of anticipation, is ready to take the next step in their burgeoning romance. But while everything might seem perfect, the edges of the town are beginning to fray. Odd things catch Mike's attention, things no one else seems to notice or care about. There are no children or parents in Amorea and no one who's left town for the far mountains has ever come back. One night, Mike wakes up to a storm cloud of uncanny starlings blackening the sky. And soon enough, he begins to question whether his name is even Mike. As Mike loses hold on his identity, violent memories of another life interfere with everything good about Amorea, Mike will do whatever he can to keep Sean from the darkness that's coming for him.
