Something is in the walls. Something that wants out. Beth's life is in shambles. Recently released from jail after a car accident that took the life of a crossing guard, Beth finds herself in the middle of a bitter custody battle with her soon-to-be ex-husband, one that she can't possibly win given her husband's legal connections, and her own troubled past. Adding to the turmoil, her mother, who she hasn't seen or spoken to in years is now in the hospital after falling down the stairs.Dropping everything to be at her mother's side, Beth begins to suspect there may be more to this fall than meets the eye. Something is not right in her mother's house; something that resulted in her taking a tumble down the stairs while struggling to carry a giant bag of kitty litter up into the attic.Digging up and confronting the past was not Beth's goal following her release from jail, but her mother's fall has put her upon this path, one that will change everything she thought she knew about her own childhood while also providing a horrifying solution to all the turmoil that has descended upon her.Does Beth have the stomach to do what is necessary to end all her troubles and keep custody of her daughter? Or will she simply sit back and watch as her husband's ruthless legal team continues to take everything from her?

High school can be a difficult time for a teenager, especially toward the end where one has to start making the sudden transition into adulthood. For Jimmy Hawthorn it is even worse. Not only does he need to successfully make that transition, he has to do it while hiding the fact that he is the one responsible for kidnapping two fellow high school students, both of whom are hanging from their wrists in a secret underground fallout shelter he discovered behind an abandoned house on the outskirts of town.

Being the teenage daughter of a serial killer is fun -- except when digging graves. Thankfully Misty has Bitsy to help her. Plus her daddy pays her with gift cards that she uses online to order things like books, video games, and new outfits to dress up Bitsy with, so really she can't complain. Now if he would just teach her how to drive, life would be perfect.
