The story kicks off on the resort's big opening night, which quickly turns sour when a rich guy, Mathew Weems, gets struck with paralysis, just like a creepy note said would happen. More people end up frozen in time by a strange condition. The town leaders panic, and a detective named Ascott Keane jumps on the case to find out what's behind the strange happenings. The book mixes classic detective work with a spooky vibe, telling a suspenseful story of blackmail, the unbelievable, and the fight to take down a scary villain.
