The citizens believe that the town’s fate is sealed—until siblings Davie and Ruby decide to fight back. They place an advertisement in the mysterious Darkington Times and soon inexplicable visitors begin arriving. Ghosts, witches, ghouls—instead of bringing fear, they bring new life to the town. As Secondhand shops reopen and curiosities flourish, Middle Spit Sands transforms into Screaming Sands, becoming a booming hub of the supernatural. What begins as tragedy becomes destiny, as the dead donkey’s fall unearths the magical essence buried beneath the town.
