Faolkirk is a quiet town - or it used to be. There have been legends of wolves in the forest for as long as the town has stood. While the Forest Service claims the stories are just that, those 'stories' have begun leaving increasingly grisly bodies to be found. Lizzie and Aurie are the only things that make Faolkirk tolerable for one another. They've been best friends for most of their lives, and they're so close to graduation that they can taste freedom on the air. Plans for the future are on the verge of becoming reality. But when the dark becomes a real thing to fear, they learn the hard way that the legends are only a thin veneer for truth.
