On May 27th 1843, a man by the name of John Wise took to the air in a balloon for the fortieth time. To celebrate, the people of Carlisle, Pennsylvania put together a celebratory afternoon...until it wasn't so jolly.
Excited to see Mr. Wise in-person, Margaret Everton can barely contain her excitement when her father, Thomas, brings her into town to see the ascension take place. Upon reaching the Mansion Hotel, her mother's friend, Kathleen McKnee, agrees to watch her for the day so that Margaret's father can conduct some business. Much to Margaret's displeasure, however, they end up talking with a host of other people before even reaching the centre square. But when she catches a glimpse of the same man in both the hotel and near the balloon, she suspects something is awry just as a little girl tells her that he is a pirate in search of treasure; especially after the bank gets robbed in broad daylight.
From that moment on, Margaret will have the adventure of her life as a chain of precarious events have been unleashed upon the quiet town. Will she be able to deduce who is a friend, who is a foe, and who is the one behind it all? Or perhaps the events are pieces to entirely different puzzles? For when the shadows creep in after the last light of dusk has vanished, there is only one's own self to keep safe until the next dawn breaks.
