Maybe there's something in the water... or maybe it's just that secrets and fear bring out the worst in people, but the residents of the small forest town of Shadow Creek are not quite normal.
Following a tragic accident, Jake, a timid 15-year-old, now stuck with his abusive stepfather, is forced to move to Shadow Creek and into a small house that terrifies the locals and has been dubbed by them as The Haunted Cottage. The mysterious cottage, Jake finds, was once owned by his biological father, and he soon acquires clues, left behind by his father, that lead him to discover the secret of the cottage.
Only a handful of people know about the Doors of the Ancients, and discovering these portals to different and often dangerous worlds is more of a curse than a blessing. But is Jake desperate enough to overcome his fear and be free from the tyranny of his stepfather and the madness of Shadow Creek? Is he desperate enough to believe in the messages left behind by his father, a man who the locals believe to be a demon? Could a timid boy be reckless enough to unravel the secrets of Shadow Creek?
