Little Forest is one small village among a few town in a small area in England. Beth and her best friend Veronica have been dreaming of escaping Little Forest, as small town life is "boring". Even though they are planning to escape together, something tears these best friends apart. With Beth not understanding how her best friend could stop wanting to be her friend, she is also curious about the death of a co-worker and some strange things going on in Little Forest since the new residents came to town. With the mystery of what is happening and her new close friendship with Will, a boy she always found annoying and pathetic, Beth is set out to investigate, if not to just try to figure out what is happening, and maybe to see if any of it has to do with her best friend no longer wanting to be friends. With Will by her side to help keep her nerves under control, weird things begin to happen, mostly to Beth. With sudden auditory and visual hallucinations, Beth begins to wonder if she is going crazy and with the only person she once confided in avoiding her, Beth is left to not having anyone to confide in. Especially since when she does, the person rejects her ideas of what it might be and thinks she might have gone a little off her rocker or has been drinking too much to which causing these hallucinations. With possible murder, weird hallucinations and the loss of people to trust, Beth is left to trust Connor, the Irish newcomer, when she is out in the woods. Considering, he seems to be the center of the weird happenings in one way or another, Beth needs answers and hoping he can solve them. Even if he has answers, can he help her understand the hallucinations and her best friend's weird actions?
