High school is looking pretty bad for Tessa who, following her arrival to a new town, has quickly become the target of bullying.

Fitting in, however, is the least of her worries. Stumbling upon a trap door in an abandoned cabin, she meets a mute, shackled boy wearing a bag on his head. She frees him and when he follows her back to her house, she has no choice but to hide him.

Things start looking up for Tessa as her relationship with the strange boy begins to grow… until a bizarre murder leaves the small mountain community of Black Creek in a state of paranoia.

Now Tessa must decide whether to continue to hide her only friend or turn in a possible killer.

Black Creek is a modern day fairy tale about love finding a way, even in the darkest of places.
