Nina, a Lipan girl residing in our world, has always felt a sense of longing for something beyond the ordinary. Despite the prevailing skepticism surrounding the old stories, she firmly holds onto her belief in the mystical and supernatural.

On the other side of the realm, Oli, a cottonmouth kid, finds himself cast away from his home, a land teeming with spirits and monsters. Like his kind, he has been exiled, but he has managed to forge a new existence on the banks of the bottomless lake.

Unbeknownst to Nina and Oli, their paths are destined to cross. However, they are completely unaware of each other's existence. Yet, a catastrophic event on Earth and a peculiar sickness that afflicts Oli's closest friend will bring their worlds together in ways unseen for centuries.
