The King family’s new house isn’t the only thing keeping secrets.

Pretending everything is all right when it’s not is harder than it sounds. The Kings know that even if they told the truth about the bizarre happenings in their new home, no one would believe them. They’re hyper-focused on rescuing their lost family member before anyone finds out what’s going on.

Then a stranger shows up to take the house, and their options start dwindling fast. Why is this man so interested in an old run-down place? And what secret is he hiding—beyond the scars that crisscross his body?

The mystery gets stranger with each passing day. Will the Kings find a way to harness the house’s secrets and discover who is watching their every move before someone else is snatched into an unknown world?
