Fifteen-year-old Jeanette lives in a world of suburban tranquility on Maple Street, where the scent of freshly cut grass is usually a sign of peace. But lately, her "expert" knowledge of her neighborhood has revealed something terrifying. A spectral entity known as the Obscura is feeding on her deepest insecurities, manifesting them as a "viscous, dark trail" that follows her everywhere. To stop the spread of this "Sticky Phantom," Jeanette must stop running from her past and confront the "visceral representation" of her own repressed fear and regret.
