Hemlock Cove is mired in a cold snap, which means the town is calm and quiet. That all changes in an instant when a beer truck tips over on the highway and half the town shows up to get drunk. Bay Winchester is about to be the sole owner of the town newspaper so she heads out to take photos ... and accidentally stumbles over several bodies. It seems there's a serial killer on the loose, although no one can figure out if the dump site was convenient or if the killer is local. Some hard digging leads Bay to a local college, where the only thing that stands out is a cell phone game that seems to be taking over the populace. Bay can't shake the feeling that there's something off about the game, but that pales in comparison to the dead girls and the motive behind multiple killings. Things spiral out of control when the game developers pick Hemlock Cove for a big event, which means the town is suddenly flooded with gamers ... including Aunt Tillie, who decides that winning really is the most important thing. Things are about to get wicked for the Winchesters. There's a killer in their midst and Bay appears to be displaying a new power that no one saw coming. It's only a matter of time until two powerful forces collide. Who comes out standing is anybody's guess but Bay's new power will be on full display ... and may be the ultimate factor in her survival.
