■Synopsis■ Open-minded, bold, and a little impatient, you live for monster movies and filmmaking. You planned to spend your last summer before film school shooting a film with your friends—until your mom shipped you off to Everly Springs to stay with your eccentric Uncle Gary. Now you’re stuck working in his video store, trading ghost stories with your coworker, Kit. Just when you think your summer is doomed, Uncle Gary starts talking about the town’s legends… and you can’t resist grabbing your camera. Within 48 hours, you stumble into the arms of Prince Gil, a swamp man, and cross paths with the mysterious Owlman, Erebus. Will your search for the truth uncover their existence—or lead you to fall for the legends themselves? ■Characters■ Kit — The Paranormal Fan Beneath his punk look, Kit is kind and quietly mysterious. Born and raised in Everly Springs, he once dreamed of becoming a screenwriter, but now works at the video store. He doesn’t buy into the local legends and always has a rational explanation… at least for now. Prince Gil — The Swamp Man Once jovial and charismatic, Gil has grown bitter after years of being treated as Everly Springs’ main attraction. Now reclusive and arrogant, he lurks in the springs. But with his kingdom threatened by development, he may have no choice but to seek your help. Erebus — The Owlman An intelligent, enigmatic creature with psychic powers and incredible speed. After accidentally revealing himself in the 1950s, he became a local legend. Hidden away for decades, Erebus longs for someone who truly understands him. Alexander — The Ghost A shy yet charming spirit who haunts your uncle’s store. The son of Everly Springs’ founder, he died tragically young and despises what the town has become. Though withdrawn, he’s intrigued by you—and when developers arrive, he sees a chance to influence the living from beyond.
