Description:

In the middle of the night, eleven-year-old Nate and his mum flee their home, escaping the controlling grip of her boyfriend Gary. They take refuge in a crumbling cottage on the edge of a forgotten estate — but when Mum slips out for supplies and never comes back, Nate is left alone in the dark with all his old fears creeping in. Comfort arrives from unexpected places: Sam, his long-lost imaginary friend, and Kitty, a curious girl chasing a decades-old treasure hunt that ended in tragedy. As Nate puzzles out the clues, he must also find the courage to face his own shadows and bring his mum home.
