As they become acquainted with the town’s peculiar residents, including Sheriff Boyd Stevens (Harold Perrineau), they realize the gravity of their situation. By day, the townsfolk struggle to maintain a semblance of normalcy, while by night, they barricade themselves in their homes to evade the bloodthirsty creatures that prowl the darkness.

As the Matthews family unravels the town’s secrets and attempts to uncover the truth about its origins, alliances are formed, betrayals are revealed, and survival becomes increasingly precarious.
