When Chase, Oliver, Jax, Eduard, and Gio, are hired to investigate a local theft, they uncover more than they bargained for; a mysterious beast is prowling about Raven Ridge and has attacked a local hiker. Could the creature be a werewolf? A Sasquatch? The young detectives have their theories, but can they prove themselves right before the beast strikes again?

The kid’s school, Raven Ridge Academy, is no safe place either. Old ghosts reappear, bullies harass the kids, and the teaching staff can’t be trusted. To make matters worse, the nefarious shadow returns to visit Chase. Are all these happenings mere coincidence or are they somehow connected?
