Three teenagers go missing near the village of Mattock Creek, Sagewood County. Two days after their disappearance, a vagrant washes on the shore, bloated and bruised, at a nearby village. For some reason, the Sheriff's Department decides to call off the search for the teenagers shortly after...

Four days is a long time for someone to be gone in Sagewood County, everyone knows this. Usually there is something else behind such a disappearance. Usually that something is supernatural. This is why you are here now, standing at the crossroads, thinking about what you're going to get yourself into. But there’s no one else to save the lost, so sometimes ordinary people have to become more than they are… Welcome to Sagewood.
