On July 15 1994 ten-year-old Ethan and his best friend Billy fell asleep together in their quiet New Jersey cul-de-sac. In the morning Ethan woke up alone. The tent was sliced open and Billy was gone taken. He was never seen again. Thirty years later Ethan has returned to Hemlock Circle still desperate for answers. Who took Billy? Plagued by bad dreams and insomnia he begins to notice strange things happening on the street under the cover of darkness. Someone is prowling the cul-de-sac when no one is awake to see them. Are they still out there? This isn't a bad neighbourhood. These aren't bad people. What if they are?
