- The Zoo - Billie's grandad loved to tell stories, although that was all Billie thought they were. Stories. Fairy tales. To her surprise, after her grandad's death, she finds out one of those stories was true. Her grandad owned a zoo and now that zoo is hers. With the help of Charlie, Billie needs to decide whether she is capable of bringing the now abandoned zoo back to its former glory. - The Aquarium - After months of feeling isolated in the four walls of her house, all Connie wants is a day trip to the beach, where she can visit the aquarium with her husband and son. It was meant to be a nice day, a well-deserved break, but little did Connie know that she'd end up murdering a person. - Fright Night at the Wild Place - Cassandra joins her friends for a Fright Night event, which includes a spooky bear trail. Assuming it is all fake, Cassandra finds her night turned upside down when the whole event is more personalised to her than she could have ever imagined. - Birdland - A trip to Birdland, the perfect place for all those bird lovers! Penguins, owls, the lot. So what would you do if it seemed like you were the only person not seeing birds behind the cages, but something, or someone, else?

Unemployed and living back at home, Stephen isn’t feeling his greatest. When his mum suggests applying for a job at the hotel in Lediar Park, it seems like a reasonable option, granting him some money and experience while he finds auditions for his dream acting role. He tries not to let the conspiracy theories around Lediar Park bother him… Surely there isn’t a monster roaming the woodland? Ignoring his grandfather’s comical mutterings of old werewolf folklore isn’t too hard. It’s a bit more difficult to avoid the comments about an event that shook the town though: women murdered at the hotel back in the eighties. To some, it was nothing more than a tragic slaughter of innocent women, but to others… It was the price paid for leaving the hotel after dark. With his colleagues playing tricks on him and his grandfather involved in the conspiracy theories, Stephen is about to learn the truth behind Lediar Park — and it’s going to get messy.
