From the authors of Rhett & Link's Book of Mythicality┬аand creators of┬аGood Mythical Morning┬а. . .┬а
ItтАЩs 1992 in Bleak Creek, North CarolinaтАФa sleepy little place with all the trappings of an ordinary Southern town: two Baptist churches, friendly smiles coupled with silent judgments, and an unquenchable appetite for pork products. Beneath the townтАЩs cheerful fa├зade, however, Bleak Creek teens live in constant fear of being sent to the Whitewood School, a local reformatory with a history of putting unruly youths back on the straight and narrowтАФa record so impeccable that almost everyone is willing to ignore the suspicious┬аdeaths that have occurred there over the past decade.
At first, high school freshmen Rex McClendon and Leif Nelson believe what theyтАЩve been told: that the studentsтАЩ strange demises were all just tragic accidents, the unfortunate consequence of succumbing to vices like Marlboro Lights and Nirvana. But when the shoot for their low-budget horror masterpiece, PolterDog, goes horribly awryтАФand their best friend, Alicia Boykins, is sent to Whitewood as punishmentтАФRex and Leif are forced to question everything they know about their unassuming hometown and its cherished school for delinquents.
Eager to rescue their friend, Rex and Leif pair up with recent NYU film school graduate Janine Blitstein to begin piecing together the unsettling truth of the school and its mysterious founder, Wayne Whitewood. What they find will leave them battling an evil beyond their wildest imaginationsтАФone that will shake Bleak Creek to its core.
