Synopsis/Details

Twelve-year-old Maya has never been the kind of kid who walks away from trouble. Alongside her best friend Noah and the town's newest outsider, Simon, she spends the first days of summer exploring the forests and shoreline surrounding the quiet town of Redwater, Minnesota. But when a series of unexplained disappearances draws secretive government agents to the lake, the three friends stumble into a mystery far beyond anything they imagined.

What begins as harmless curiosity soon places them at the center of a dangerous secret that someone is willing to kill to protect. As the truth behind the lake slowly emerges, the friends find themselves pursued by forces they don't understand, forcing them to confront a terrifying reality hidden beneath the surface of their quiet hometown.

Blending science fiction, cosmic horror, mystery and comedy, Homecoming Lights combines youthful adventure with escalating suspense, balancing humor, friendship and coming-of-age emotion against an ever-growing sense of the unknown.
