Charles Michael Bryant–Charlie-Bear to his parents–is nine months old and suffers from that age-old and worrisome condition known as colic. The doctors say he'll grow out of it. His father, Sam, wishes he would go ahead and do so...and his mother, Faith, wants a good night's sleep. It isn't gas that keeps Charlie-Bear awake, nor is it heartburn, reflux or a wet diaper. Charlie-bear has drawn the attention of Wicked...a nasty thing who moves as a shadow, speaks only in rhyme and steals the souls of children. He is a monster who creates more nightmares and wants Charlie-Bear to become one.

In the quiet town of Harrowby, Christmas Eve brings more than just snow and twinkling lights, it brings an ancient terror stirring only under the cover of silence. For Amy and her friends, the night begins like any other. But when a haunting carol drifts through the streets, pulling their neighbours from their homes and into the freezing dark, they are left to uncover a mystery changing them forever.
