## Summary

Rye is a small town in the middle of Britain. Nothing notable happens there, and if you're from it you're most likely trying to get out. All until one night where a group of old friends all congregate in the totally normal Waffle House. They hear a scream and sprint into the world of fears and the unknown; and probably their demise.

## Episodes

### Episode 1

A group of old friends end up in a Waffle House on the edge of town. After hearing a scream, the group sprints out into the woods with varying goals. Mischa turns into Kitty, but in the chaos only half of the group have some idea they're the same. Candlemaker steps in and tries to get Levy to stop them, but they fail to sway any of them from going deeper.

They come across Ghost, Mischa and Mags's boss at the library, being mauled by Jacob, the local cop pretty much everyone hates. A large arm from the darkness psychic throws Jacob across the clearing. Everyone sneaking, one of the group manages to get to Ghost; but they are dragged into the dark. Before anyone can do anything else, Levy's phone goes off, alerting Jacob to the group's presence.

### Episode 2

Jacob engages Kitty, leaving the rest of the group to scramble on what to do. Mags goes after the hand and Ghost, and of course Levy hangs back. The rest of the group sneaking meet up and Hux distracts the hand with a molotov while Blair sprints over to Mags, tackling them into the bushes while the hand doesn't 'see' them. Not being included in the huddle, Kitty goes after Mags leaving Jacob for the rest of the group to handle. Jacob bites Abby but she uses some Web ability to make him idle. Candlemaker appears again, guiding the group back to the Waffle House where Levy and Cecelia Ward were waiting. Mischa reveals themselves as Kitty on the way there and shakes most of the group even further. The group disperses.

### Episode 3

After going to their respective residences, the group meets back up at the library for Ward to explain things to them. Ward and Levy show up, the former urging everyone to steer clear of the Fears, the group split on their answer. One at a time; Abby leaves to go see her parents, Ward goes to collect their thoughts, and Mischa goes across the street to Everything Bagel for some coffee. The group left sprint over to the copy machine with the book Ward had been using to explain everything with. Levy worries why Ward had been gone so long and leaves. Before Mischa could leave, a man calling himself Ghost walks in, who even Sabine insists is the same Ghost. Meanwhile, Mischa meets up with Levy who come to the conclusion Ward's been nabbed, leading them to sprint back to the Library to discover tunnels underneath the place.

### Episode 4

The entire group minus Abby goes into the tunnels. A weird poem was on the wall but Mischa sneezed on it. Mags and Blair splitting off to set a distraction, the rest encounter a being called Tall Nick. Cut back to Abby going inside her home, and inside is the Director; who is also using her co worker Danny as a puppet. Abby refuses to dying and Danny is sent after Abby, but fails. After that, Ward is brought in, being strung up similarly, except with some stronger rope. Ward apologizes, assures that they can't open the safe without them, and tells her to tell Levy they're sorry. Abby leaves them with a knife and runs, carrying a knocked out Danny with her.
