When the Miller family moves to a historic Victorian in Fenton, Missouri, sixteen-year-old Chloe expects a quiet escape from city life, only to discover that the house's charming floral wallpaper conceals a predatory rot and a town where the neighbors move with a terrifying, mechanical grace. After finding a hidden scrapbook and a basement filled with shimmering glass jars, Chloe uncovers Fenton's gruesome truth: no one ever truly leaves, as the enigmatic "Visitor" and the ancient "Great Weaver" tailor residents into hollow puppets for a supernatural design. Alongside her loyal dog, Willie, Chloe must navigate a shifting architecture of fear, battling to save her parents' souls from being unspooled and stitched into the very foundation of the land. In this dark reimagining of the Midwest, she quickly learns that some invitations are inescapable, and the silver thread of a curse is far stronger than the bonds of blood.
