Lights out. Stay quiet. Hope to survive the night.
Joule and Cage Mazur aren’t just afraid of the dark—they’re trapped by it. When night falls, something deadly stalks their neighborhood, forcing their family to barricade themselves indoors and pray for dawn. But when they manage to kill one of the creatures, they realize the truth is far worse than they imagined: the locks won’t hold forever.
As panic spreads and order collapses, the Mazurs must outsmart not just the monsters, but the unraveling chaos of the people around them. With extinction on the horizon, Joule and Cage take a stand—determined to fight back before humanity is wiped out for good.
Can they outlast the Night Hunters before the night claims them all?
