Four contract killers are lured to The Red Lobster Hotel in Maw Meadows, Maine, with the promise of a lucrative contract to solve their woes. But soon after they check in, they are plunged into darkness. A mysterious figure wants to watch...as they are forced to kill an unsuspecting victim... or turn on each other.
At the once sweet and serene Camp Tuckaway, four junior counselors, united after years of being apart, arrive a night early under the watch of their Camp Director, Mr. Carroll. All they want is to have some fun without responsibility, and maybe sneak across the lake to the girl's camp, but unnerving thumping in the forest, and sounds in the lake promise to put an end to their fun. Will they survive the night?
An island, never before seen by the people of Maw Meadows, appears just offshore - swallowed by black fog. Investigators are sent by the town council to discover why this island has emerged in their quiet Sound. What is causing this fog to grow offshore and can they return with answers?
The black fog thickens, and what lies inside begins to stir. Shapes move where no shapes should be. Voices drift on the air - familiar, impossible, calling from somewhere between memory and dream. Every echo leads them deeper, but not all echoes come from the living.
The people of Maw Meadows gather to debate the town's uncertain future. Old grudges surface, strange allegiances harden, and whispers of something older than the town itself circle the room. Every question leads to more secrets, and every secret winds tighter around those who listen. All spirals bind.
Travelers searching for answers in the north woods find that the land itself seems to watch them. The deeper they go, the stranger the wilderness becomes - sights that shouldn't be possible, sounds that don't belong to the forest. Some paths are found with maps. Others are opened by something staring back.
The season's final descent leads beneath Maw Meadows, into the stone and sea that have shaped its legend. What waits in the dark has many names, and wears many faces - but its crown has yet to be claimed. The journey ends where it began: with a choice, and with the King beneath the waves.
