Prologue

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS in Fairhill, Vermont. It's a small town, surrounded by farmland, with the Green Mountains in the distance. Cornfields and hay. Covered bridges and ghost stories. Hiking and hayrides. Underage drinking in the graveyard, late at night, leaning up against the headstones. There isn't much else for teenagers to do. Drive around in their parents' trucks once they get their licence. Make out if they're lucky. School and sports and chores and part-time jobs …

Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont.

Until it does.
