Synopsis: 'You'd better come home right away… because, brother, we're expecting you.' The year, 1991. The town, Colonnades, Victoria. Sixteen-year-old Aleck Bride lives with his divorced mother and his big brother, Craig. His mum's boyfriend is a pathetic alcoholic named Dietrich, who often takes out his frustrations on Aleck. But soon he discovers he has much worse things on his plate than Dietrich's violent outbursts. When the school misfit begins to single out Aleck for a campaign of harassment and intimidation, he, at first, dismisses it. But as the stalking turns into full-blown psychosis, it rapidly escalates into a campaign of terror that will threaten the lives of everyone in Colonnades, for as the mystery begins to unravel, it soon becomes clear that somewhere beneath the town, there lurks an ancient terror worse than all the horrors of Colonnades combined; an ancient terror that has the power to turn nightmares into reality. So why not come pay a visit? You might discover that it's closer to home than you think. Come home to Colonnades today. Because, brother, we're expecting you… Authorised by the Ministry of Adrian (Formerly Colonnades City Council).
