Synopsis

Sisters Ivy (14) and Dahlia Vicar (12) arrive in Rialto, Missouri, expecting a different kind of summer. The town is surrounded by an improbable forest said to have swallowed it overnight decades ago, and an abandoned amusement park looms at its edge. Dahlia—an artist who lives with anxiety—begins spotting impossible creatures, while Ivy struggles to understand how to support her sister as they both grow and change.

Their new friend Remy, whose family inherited the house they’re staying in, must deliver a series of mysterious bequests left by his late aunt. When he asks for their help, the three are drawn into a puzzle that reaches back to the days when Rialto Park still shone with lights and music.
