The series is centred on the small Canadian town of Pretty Lake, where suddenly and inexplicably residents aged 22 and over start dying. A mysterious and fatal disease is feared to be spreading through the town, leaving youngsters terrified that their parents are set to become victims. Five days after the first case was reported, more than 300 people are dead (not one of them younger than 21).
As terror takes hold, Pretty Lake is placed under full quarantine and perimeter barbed-wire fences are set up around the town with the threat of military force against anyone attempting to leave or enter. An official Government message is transmitted in the town, proclaiming that experts around the world are seeking to establish the nature of the disease and find a vaccine. But is that the truth?
Cut off from the rest of the world, will the young residents band together or will the town tear itself apart?

Found in the broken down concrete is a belt belonging to an apparent victim of the 'Silver Bells Killer', a serial murderer who brought terror to the streets of Boston more than a decade earlier, leaving a silver bell with the body of each victim.

There appears to be a Hawthorne family connection to the Silver Bells Killer - is one of them the notorious murderer? When Garrett suddenly returns, the family's secrets and lies look set to unravel...
