Summary

When a bullying incident sends twelve year-old Nico Holland over the edge of a cliff into the icy waters of Still Cove, where no one ever goes, friends Tyler, Ella and even 'cool kid' Opal rush to his rescue, only to discover an island hidden in the mists below. The island appears uninhabited, although the kids can't quite shake the feeling that something about it is off. Their suspicions grow when they stumble upon an abandoned houseboat with an array of curiosities inside: odd-looking weapons, unnerving portraits, maps and a glass jar containing something completely unidentifiable. As the group delves deeper into the unknown, their discoveries and their lives begin to intertwine in weird and spooky ways. Something ancient has awakened and it knows their wishes, dreams and deepest secrets. Do they have what it takes to face the shadowy things that lurk within their own hearts?
