Trying to save the girl, Stacy drops her phone after a stranger recognises her, scares her off and warns her to stay away. How can this stranger know her?

Nights later, Stacy returns to the wood so she can find him, her phone, and clues about the children she now knows are missing from the local neighbourhood.

What can one green fingered teen possibly do to save not just the other imprisoned children, but the entire human race?
