At the age of 14, Anna Macy departed from Kettering following the unexplained vanishing of her close friend, Gillian Baxter. The pair had been exploring the off-limits woods near Kettering when they witnessed unusual lights in the sky. Eight hours later, Anna was discovered alone, frightened, and smeared with blood. Now, 15 years later, Anna comes back to a town fighting for its existence. The forests are slated for logging, and the community is being ripped apart by intense and sometimes violent conflicts between environmental activists and local loggers.
