Lights in the sky. A body on the shore without a head or hands. A girl missing from the college up the coast. Detective Evelyn Vale of the Sheriff's Department is tasked with the investigation. Young and still new as a detective, Vale is determined to see things through with the assistance of her mentor, the old-school Sergeant Sedgewick. When the murder investigation yields cryptic clues that suggest cult involvement, Vale brings in religious studies professor Hugh Burke to consult. Burke, himself experiencing a crisis of faith, is joined by his student, Kira Moreland, the sister of the missing girl. The investigation forces each of them to confront the paths of their own lives, and unveils dark practices kept hidden for generations - practices which threaten to bring forth a darkness unseen in three centuries.

Ben and Cadence have just graduated from high school. Although they grew up together, they have rarely spoken for the last four years. When Cadence suddenly asks Ben for a ride home one night, neither one of them expect what follows - between the people they meet and the past that they confront down the roads of their small American town - and their lives.

Tideland was on all the maps, but Jeremy Hartley had never heard of it, nor visited the town, even though it was only a few miles from where he lived. When Jeremy ventures into town, he finds a world apart, between Heaven and Earth, where ghosts are held captive in the autumn woods, souls arrive on trains, and the living live alongside the departed. But there is something else far darker which roams the fields and mountains around Tideland, something which pulls at Jeremy's heart, which brought him into Tideland in the first place. What Jeremy does will alter the course of events for the town in a single night.
