Looking back, it all started on the day of the fair and the terrible accident. When twelve-year-old Eddie first met the Chalk Man.It was the Chalk Man who gave Eddie the idea for the drawings: a way to leave secret messages between his group of friends.And it was fun, to start with, until the figures led them to the body of a young girl.That was thirty years ago and Ed thought the past was behind him. Then he receives a letter containing just two things: a piece of chalk, and a drawing of a stick figure.As history begins to repeat itself, Ed realises the game was never over…Everyone has secrets.Everyone is guilty of something.And children are not always so innocent.
