Being an adult is hard. Keeping a clean house, doing taxes, and balancing life and work. But working for a secret organization, tracking down the bad guys, and stopping their next attack is even harder. One year after rescuing Tonya and finding the treasure of the Shifting Shadows, Collin and the rest of his team find themselves facing the Shifting Shadows again, but this time the Rising Flock has one clue that might give them the edge. While Collin and Lukas lead teams to figure out the Shifting Shadows' next target and stop them, Sam and Max study Brooke's star-gem and endeavor to find the Fortress of DARKNESS to take down the organization from its roots.
