When police officer Matt Klein returns to the quiet coastal town of Marshport, he hopes

for a fresh start with his family.

But a series of brutal, inexplicable deaths begins to unravel the town.

At the center of it all is an ancient evil bound to a seemingly harmless gift of an antique

advent calendar, a relic, counting down to the night when the light of Christmas goes out.

As the days slip by, strange voices whisper through the walls, people go mad, and reality

itself starts to crack.

The deeper Matt digs, the closer he comes to facing an evil that has been waiting for him for years.

Now with his wife and sons in peril and the final door of the calendar looming, Matt must confront the truth.

Some traditions were never meant to be completed. 24 days. 24 doors. All leading to one unholy Christmas Eve. Advent of Evil, a 24-episode

event on Weird Darkness beginning December 1st,
