In the small, struggling town of Timbers, Washington, lies creepy Still Cove. A bullying incident lands a group of kids, including narrators Nico and Opal, in the cove, where they find a mysterious island, a bizarre collection of antiques, and a pool of dark, swirling water. But at every revelation of the area's chaotic power, their curiosity leads them deeper into darkness. Alternating narration builds enthralling suspense in this supernatural series-starter.
