Following the events of the first installment, Miles moves to the town of Clifton Falls, Maine. The book which writes out his future with murderous intent has followed him. As he makes new friends at a new school and tries to find a way to defeat the book, he learns that the woods beyond his apartment hold a deadly secret that's somehow connected to the book he can't seem to rid himself of. As his new friends reveal secrets of their own, he begins to realize that it's no coincidence that they met. They are all connected somehow, perhaps only by the book, or perhaps by something bigger than them all. It all begins to turn surreal as the book closes in on an ending. Will Miles and his friend be able to outsmart a book that's been murdering for centuries? It doesn't look promising, but one can hope.
