No school. No parents. No way out.
The disappearance of four single parents leads to an investigation by the children they leave behind. The youngsters are convinced that a sinister supernatural force is responsible.
ACT 1 - JAMIE
There's something not quite right in Creekwood Pines. Jamie, a kid with far too much responsibility for a boy his age, returns home after a successful day playing truant to find his mother missing and his younger brother over the moon with their new found freedom. However, as a storm draws in, they soon realise that something sinister is stalking the houses on their street.

| 0:36.4 | Jamie Act 1. Jamie Jamie Jamie stood at the edge of the mall four court and watched the steady stream of |
| 0:51.3 | passers by examining them from behind his sunglasses to ensure he |
| 0:56.0 | didn't recognize anybody. It would be a total disaster if one of his classmates' parents |
| 1:02.0 | saw him skulking around a shopping establishment a solid two hours before school was due to finish |
| 1:08.0 | for the day. When he was convinced that the coast was clear, he made |
| 1:12.2 | his way into the mall and took the stairs to the second floor, avoiding the elevators where the |
| 1:17.4 | bloated and wheezing security guard seemed to spend half his shift. He knew that he'd have no |
| 1:23.2 | problem outrunning him if he needed to. The man was well into his 50s, but he'd prefer to remain |
| 1:29.1 | unseen during this particular shoplifting excursion. He approached the Radio Shack electronic store, |

| 1:45.9 | Luckily, the store was fairly busy and Jamie knew exactly what he needed and where on the store to find it. |
| 1:52.6 | He would prefer to not have to steal, of course. However, Jamie felt that theft was his only option. |
| 1:59.4 | His mother gave him a regular allowance, which he was grateful for, but it was meager and |
| 2:04.6 | didn't cover even a small percentage of his daily necessities. |
| 2:08.6 | He spent most of this money on cigarettes, which he was certainly addicted to by now, the fine |
| 2:14.6 | sprouting of short ginger hairs on his chin making him pass for the minimum age of 16 that was required to buy them. |
| 2:21.8 | He'd read in a newspaper that this limit was soon going to be increased to 18, which he was sure would impact his nicotine consumption greatly. |
