THE KIRKFALLEN STOPWATCH
YOUNG ADULT/ADULT
A mass killer hunting his own daughter. A double murder in an idyllic community.
A research facility overrun by ants.
They’re all part of the biggest con trick in history.
Welcome to the island of Kirkfallen
30 years ago a secret research facility was destroyed, overrun my millions of ants.
Two survivors fled the carnage unaware that something terrible escaped with them.
Now a teenage boy and girl discover they are linked to that fateful day.
Betrayed by their families and hounded by the military, they realize their lives have been a lie.
Worse than that, the ants are gathering again....
