The endless, suffocating haze of summer had wrapped the old farmhouse in a spell of unrelenting boredom. For sisters Abby and Yeli, the holidays stretched like an eternity of nothing-days melting into one another on the sagging front porch, where they sprawled half-awake, half-dreaming, watching lazy clouds crawl across a merciless blue sky. The cicadas screamed their monotonous hymn; the air hung thick with the scent of parched earth and fading hay. At sixteen, Abby felt the wasted time like a weight on her chest. Yeli, two years younger, still carried flickers of childish hope but mirrored her sister's restless sighs. When Abby suggests a trip to the river to fish, little does she know that the trip will alter their uneventful circumstance drastically. The trip propels them into an exciting adventure where they discover a strange animal, meet a strange figure and revisit their favorite childhood playground - the barn popularly called Barn town, said to be haunted by mysterious figures and events. Will their experiences in Barn town prove the rumored ghost tales as true or just fantastic stories made up by farmhands over the years to mystify Barn town as the abode of phantom figures and a place of buried magic? Journey with the sisters into a world of shadows, secrets, perhaps true hauntings-or something far wilder than any ghost story
