Adventures are always unexpected; it's in their nature to be so. But when Wynona is forced to leave her bustling, successful life in order to return to the dismal hometown she thought she'd left behind for good, she is confident that the last thing she's embarking on is an adventure. How could visiting her dying sister Beth and facing her dreadful past be anything but a miserable tragedy? Meanwhile, the local sheriff discovers the dead body of an exotic animal keeper near an empty, open cage labeled with the haunting sign: "DRAGON BEWARE."
