1981. Deep in the heartland of America, a small town is changed forever when a young surgeon makes a discovery that never should have been found. The once bustling lake town of Shadow Falls is driven into obscurity as the horrific events of the next few years drive away any resident lucky enough to be left alive. Years pass and the town is forgotten. Now the only visitors are called there by a town that no longer exists. Everyone in Shadow Falls is looking for something or something is looking for them.
