Twenty four years ago, Olive and Stacia went into the woods. Only Olive returned. She does not remember what happened after she followed Stacia into a cave in the woods. Now, Olive's father has vanished, leaving behind research which indicates that he has found out what lives in the woods. It wakes up every twelve years, taking only children. It has been doing so for at least two hundred years. Forced to return to her hometown, Olive finds her memories returning.
What she remembers in the days leading up to Stacia's disappearance are magical, almost impossible to believe. She knows that she has to return to the woods, to face what lurks there to save her father, and to find out what happened to Stacia.
