"Shani Struthers is my Queen of Horror." Not every back road takes you home It's just another day at the Mason Town Museum, where Shady Groves and Ray Bartlett work, alongside their boss Annie Hawkins. Not that the museum is ordinary, it's home to objects infused with energy, often of the destructive kind. The three regard themselves as caretakers, seeking to dispel that energy, in turn protecting the unwitting public, whose hands they could otherwise fall into. No ordinary museum, and no ordinary day either, not when Beth Wick arrives, having read about Annie and the team online. In her hand, she clutches something, half a golden heart hanging from a cheap chain. It belongs to her recently deceased sister Kim, and the other half of the heart to her brother Ethan, who's been missing for two years. When she thrusts the chain into Shady's hand, Shady - who is gifted in the art of psychometry - is immediately plunged into a nightmare world, one in which a distraught Kim demands she finds her brother, her spirit unable to rest until she does. Failure is not an option. Whilst Annie tends to the museum, Shady and Ray travel with Beth back to her hometown of Wyatt, South Dakota. There they discover a web of secrets and lies, a man called Johnny, once a teenage bully, but now the town's darling, and backroad after backroad, one in particular - the Spook Road - a myth attached to it that may just prove significant.
