In the small village of Hawkins Hollow three best friends who share the same birthday sneak off into the woods for a sleepover the evening before turning 10. But a night of pre-pubescent celebration turns into a night of horror as their blood brother oath unleashes a three-hundred year curse. Twenty-one years later Fox O' Dell & his friends have seen their town plagued by a week of unexplainable evil events two more times
- every seven years. With the clock winding down on the third set of seven years someone else has taken an interest in the town's folklore. A boutique manager from New York Layla Darnell was drawn to Hawkins Hollow for reasons she can't explain
- but the recent attacks on her life make it clear that it is personal. & though Fox tries to keep his professional distance his interests in Layla have become personal too.
