As Casey opens up to PJ, Randall becomes increasingly jealous and suspects Casey of being a bad influence. As PJ’s fourteenth birthday looms, Randall plans to exact a revenge that punishes Casey by putting PJ into danger – but will his conscience prevent his dark side from taking over?
With all three characters searching for acceptance and confronting the need to be recognized, the show starts each evening just after the sun sets to uncover the monsters that in the darkness while shedding light on the boys’ stories.
