After her parents’ divorce, sixteen-year-old Riley Grishin is forced to move from Portland, Oregon, to Little Brook, Maine, a small town that serves as the headquarters for Titan Technologies, an international science corporation. Riley spends most of her days running through the woods with her dog, Tigger, and eavesdropping on her classmates—in particular, the gorgeous, but very strange, Aspen Montehugh. On the night of the homecoming game, Riley wakes up to find that her town is on fire, and being terrorized by an unseen monster. With the flames rapidly spreading, Riley and Tigger have no choice but to pile up in their beat-up pickup truck and flee the town. But as they're driving away, they come across the only other survivor: Aspen.
