There is something terribly wrong in Wolf Ridge. Every November, every teen is overwhelmed with a hunger for violenceat least, thats the urban legend. After Wyatt Greens mother was brutally murdered last Fall, shes convinced that the November sickness plaguing Wolf Ridge isnt just a town rumor that everyone ignoresits a palpable force infecting her neighbors. Wyatt is going to prove it, and find her mothers murderer in the process. She digs up every past brutal act she can find from Wolf Ridges past from car wrecks, suicides, and unnamed victims turning up in riversand even reaches out to an out-of-state journalist that seems to believe her. But all of her digging leads to nowhere. Everyone in Wolf Ridge accepts that the November sickness is real, and absolutely no one will talk about it. As Wyatts best friend Cash turns on her, and her friend is almost killed in a tragic accident, Wyatt panics how can she keep her friends safe, and find her mothers murderer, when no one believes her? As the evidence starts to disappear, Wyatt wonders: is she just imagining everything? Is the sickness real, or are the people of Wolf Ridge just naturally prone to doing bad things? Can Wyatt and her friends come out of the Violent Season unscathed, or is one of them going to be the next victim?
