Seventeen-year-old Emily Benedict comes to the small town where her deceased mother spent her childhood and youth, hoping to find out something about her past, which she carefully hid. However, no one, including her own grandfather, whose existence the girl did not even suspect until recently, is in a hurry to give her answers to her questions. On the contrary, secrets and mysteries are only multiplying. What are the townspeople whispering about behind Emily's back? What is this strange fire that appears every night in her backyard? Why doesn't the most powerful family in the city show up after sunset? How does the pattern on the wallpaper in Emily's room automatically change, and how does the lost bracelet return to its owner? It seems that these inexplicable events surprise only Emily, while everyone else does not see anything unusual in what is happening...
