Lauradelle, Missouri, has its share of problems. It's a town following a mysterious script, and none feels its negative impact more than Benji Watson.
He's a teen with his own set of troubles. His mother's dating a monster. A crazed woman insisting he holds a possessed river stone pursues him. Benji nearly loses his life after their first encounter, and it only worsens as the month drags on. And, if that's not enough, Benji meets an amnesiac who spends his spare time building a complex jail cell in his basement. All this within the boundaries of a town crumbling around him.
Benji knows he must end his mother's relationship with her new boyfriend. Next, he has to keep clear of this crazed stalker while secretly uncovering the river stone's true purpose. Finally, Benji needs to know what's going on in that basement. He could do it all if the town would only let him.
Lauradelle has its share of problems. In thirty days, Benji will uncover them all.
