Evil doesn't stay buried forever... A few weeks have passed since that nightmarish summer, and for JJ Carson the future is uncertain. Thrown into care and banned from seeing his uncle, the strange mist that follows him around has become his one and only companion. Each day it grows stronger and more powerful, but that only draws the attention of a strange doctor with an even darker plan. As for Darcie Duffield, life is back to normal, as she returns to school and desperately tries to forget the boy she met at the river, and the mysterious power he possessed. But when her friend goes missing, and a ghost from the past returns, Darcie realises she's barely scratched the surface of Fortune's Well's hidden secrets, and the sinister truth that lies beneath.
