Christopher Snow is geboren met een zeldzame genetische aandoening: hij verdraagt geen daglicht. Omdat hij 's nachts leeft, is hij de eerste die in de gaten heeft dat er vreemde dingen gebeuren in het Californische stadje Moonlight Bay. Hoewel, is hij de eerste? Verschillende inwoners lijken te beseffen dat er merkwaardig intelligente dieren in het stadje opduiken. Dat het leger een ongezonde interesse heeft in die dieren. Dat Christophers vader waarschijnlijk geen natuurlijke dood stierf. En dat Christopher er goed aan zou doen zich nergens mee te bemoeien. Als hij dat toch doet, start een huiveringwekkende thriller. Eerste deel van een trilogie.

There are no rules in the dark, no place to feel safe, no escape from the shadows. But to save the day, you must seize the night.
At no time does Moonlight Bay look more beautiful than at night. Yet it is precisely then that the secluded little town reveals its menace. Now children are disappearing. From their homes. From the streets. And there's nothing their families can do about it. Because in Moonlight Bay, the police work their hardest to conceal crimes and silence victims. No matter what happens in the night, their job is to ensure that nothing disturbs the peace and quiet of Moonlight Bay.
Christopher Snow isn't afraid of the dark. Forced to live in the shadows because of a rare genetic disorder, he knows the night world better than anyone. He believes the lost children are still alive and that their disappearance is connected to the town's most carefully kept, most ominous secret-a secret only he can uncover, a secret that will force him to confront an adversary at one with the most dangerous darkness of all: the darkness inside the human heart.
