Lutz, Florida, 2008. An autumn chill hangs in the air, carrying the distorted legend of a scissor-handed monster up the hill. Daring teenagers follow it, their voices a mixture of bravado and fear as they approach the haunted manor. They do not know the truth—that the soul residing within is gentle, and watches them now from a high tower window, hidden in shadow. Their whispers grow louder, their dares more perilous, as they gather at the threshold of his solitary sanctuary. The night is thick with suspense and the weight of a story gone wrong.
