It wasn't founded by Puritans; it never had a witch hunt; and no one had ever been hanged within the city limits. And yet, there is something wrong in Coppercreek. It's in the air. It has seeped into the ground. It haunts the trees. \u003c\/p\u003eThe locals call it \u003cstrong\u003eSilver Jenny\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it is stealing the faces of their children. \u003cstrong\u003eBear\u003c\/strong\u003e has studied horror all her life, and she knows the rules. Isolated town, cut off from the rest of the world: check. Townspeople wary of outsiders, even one of their own: check. Stupid coming-of-age rituals, which-now that she's all studied up-are clearly old pagan rituals: check. No self-respecting Final Girl would ever walk into a fever dream, time loop situation like this. And yet, here is she, standing on the porch of her parent's house. Back in the town she fled years ago. Bound to-by the very rules she's knows in her bones-run into the one person she hurt the most, the one she still loves so fiercely. Bear knows better.
