Background: Charlotte was born in Sunnytown to Luther and Dorothy Burns, both lifelong locals. Her father is an auto mechanic, and her mother is a juvenile probation officer. Lottie was a long‐awaited and planned child. Charlotte’s family is very religious, and she grew up in a devout environment (which, surprisingly, had minimal impact on her beliefs). From an early age, she was an active and outgoing child. She was raised with lots of love and care, which sometimes bordered on spoiling her. At school, Charlotte quickly made friends. No one bullied her, but the popular kids never fully accepted her into their circle. At age 15, she discovered the internet and social media. Eventually, she became a fan of emo and scene subcultures and started emulating the latter. In high school, she joined the D&D club and grew close to those kids. Outside of school, she started hanging out with Jake Thompson, frequently attending parties and embracing the idea of “living for the moment” as her main life philosophy.

2008. The town of Sunnytown – a small town in the southern part of Baldwin County, Alabama. The town sits between the Mobile River and Grand Bay. It's a quiet, peaceful town with a population of about 6,500. The town is only attractive to tourists for fishing and hunting. Sunnytown has small shops with all kinds of goods from resourceful local entrepreneurs (for example, the Darlings' esoteric shop "Torch" or Bogdan Purgin's hunting and fishing store "Trophy"). The town also has a free public school named after St. Patrick, a hospital, a police station, a cemetery on the northern outskirts near the swamps, and in the center – the restaurant "Gold Fish," specializing in fish delicacies, and the live-music café "Family Dish," where, besides tasty and cheap food, talented local kids often perform on Friday evenings and weekends. Despite the town's flourishing, young people are still slowly drifting to bigger cities (Mobile, Spanish Fort, etc.).

The town was founded in 1890 on swampland, but now the only reminders of that are the weeping willows, seasonal minor floods, and the local flora and fauna when you drive out of town.

At the beginning of the new century, the town was shaken by a horrifying series of suicides involving 10 different people living here. Some believe it's just a coincidence that it all happened over four years, and that only the hard lives of those people are to blame, but others think something supernatural is involved. However, for the last four years, the town has been living its quiet, peaceful life, as if that tragedy never happened.

Despite this, some people complain about strange things: lights in the old church at night when no one's there, human silhouettes in the dark night, a feeling that someone or something is watching them in the swamps and in the darkness when the town streets fill with water.

At school, there is a strict social hierarchy: at the very top are the popular kids, often cheerleaders and players from the school basketball team; in the middle are the regular students; at the bottom are the outcasts and school freaks, which include the Paranormal Club members and the kids who formed the band "33 Bad Ideas." The school has the following clubs: Basketball Club, D&D Club, Paranormal Club, and others.
