What would you do if you came home from school alone and heard noises in the basement?
Five kids, twelve and thirteen years old and on their own before and after school, each faces their own struggle. A broken home, illness, crushes, bullying, depression, absent parents, suicidal thoughts, broken friendships, and fears of being only a kid and home alone.There is also the strange noises houses make when they are quiet and you are alone, particularly the noises in the basement. Something is down there. Madison, Andrew, Kylie, Anna, and Dylan are brought together by circumstances that feel overwhelmingly out of their control. The temptation of exploring an old abandoned brick building, loneliness, and fleeing an attempted abduction, each is drawn to the old abandoned building for different reasons.
There, they will fight for their lives, where the monsters in the basement nest.

“Count and the nightmare goes away.One two three four five six. Count and the nightmare goes away.One two three four five six. Count and the nightmare goes away. One two three four five six.”
“Count and the nightmare goes away?”
Spring break is over and, still in shock from the events of the night of the fire; the kids are forced back into everyday life as if nothing happened. But it did happen. And it is happening again.
While the kids try to come to terms with what happened the night of the fire at the abandoned factory, nothing in their lives seems to have changed when everything feels like it did.
A broken home, illness, crushes, bullying, depression, absent parents, suicidal thoughts, they all continue as before. Amber Shaw returns to school and the Mean Team is broken up, but will it last?Everything is back to normal. Right?
And then Willie Gordon vanishes.
While new jealousies burn, problems kept secret are revealed and Joshua joins the group after his sister committed suicide, the group feels they are the only ones who can find Willie. Nobody believes them the monsters are real.
The kids have to face the monsters again, in the basements where they nest.

Madelaine thought things could not possibly get worse when her parents dragged her out on a boring, no electronics and thank you very much for ruining my life, camping trip.
Then Mocha, her American Cocker Spaniel and currently her only reason for getting through each day, is lost in the forest. Their attempts to find the dog are futile and Madelaine is devastated.
A local boy, Geoffrey, joins Madelaine in her search, promising to not give up and showing her the beauty of the forest.
Then, Madelaine’s family wakes up to find her gone, vanished from the tent in the night wearing only her nightgown.
Madelaine wakes in the dark, locked in a small room with no idea how she got there.
The prisoner of a strange old man, Madelaine begs for escape, even in death. But she knew death once. Almost. It was not the blissful drifting off asleep she imagined it would be. It was agonizing and ugly.
The old man’s reason for kidnapping her is nothing she could have ever imagined. Madelaine keeps her hope up by wishing on a stone. Playing wishing games will not be enough to free her and escape her fate.
