In the snowbound town of Potter's Creek, seventeen-year-old Leo Fletcher notices something terrifying: the world is going silent. Not peaceful quiet, but an unnatural stillness that swallows sound whole. When a mysterious stranger arrives with an ancient carved box and a glowing star appears above the Christmas tree, Leo discovers his town's dark secret—a century-old deal with entities that feed on silence. For generations, they've taken one soul each year. But this winter, with the town snowed in and no strangers to claim, they've come for the children. Leo must confront his own hidden heritage and find his voice before the silence takes everything.
