Hunter and his twin brother, Zack, are on high alert after they hear about a potential kidnapping in Newfield. But the most shocking news is yet to come: the twins figure out that Steadman, their younger brother, is the kidnapper's target! The boys keep an eye out for suspicious activities around town from a treetop watchtower in Werewolf Woods. They are shocked to discover a probable ax murderer hiding in the cellar of an empty house, Bradley the neighborhood bully poking at what must be dead bodies in the pond, and a mysterious letter for their mom. All these could be clues, and it's up to the Moran boys to uncover whatever evil plans are afoot before it's too late.
