It is believed that during Halloween, evil spirits rule the earth. And that at this time you can have a lot of fun. But the Long Night can be a very long one indeed. And then there will be no time for laughter. Only five teenagers in the city of Bixby know what threat hangs over the surrounding lands. Only they, born exactly at midnight and each endowed with their own special gift, are able to penetrate the twenty-fifth hour and know how to protect themselves from monsters that ordinary people see only in nightmares. But in the Long Night the midnight hour can burst like a soap bubble; monsters will break free into the human world and finally satisfy their hunger. None of the night owls can prevent disaster alone. They will have to forget old grievances and unite to stop the darkness.
