On New York's Long Island, in the unpredictable decade of the
1960s, a young boy spends much of his free time in the basement of
his family's modest home, where he and his brother, Jim, have
created Botch Town, a detailed cardboard replica of their
community, complete with figurines representing friends and
neighbors. Their little sister, Mary, smokes cigarettes, speaks in
other voices, inhabits alternate personas . . . and, unbeknownst to
her siblings, moves around the inanimate clay residents.
There is a strangeness in the air as disappearances, deaths,
spectral sightings, and the arrival of a sinister man in a long
white car mark this unforgettable shadow year. But strangest of all
is the inescapable fact that all these troubling occurrences
directly cor-respond to the changes little Mary has made to the
miniature town in their basement.
