Oswald spends another dull summer day wishing something exciting would happen. When he discovers an old pizza restaurant, he gets more than he bargained for. Sarah desperately wants to be beautiful and finds a way to transform herself, but the price proves steeper than she imagined. Millie feels invisible and wishes she could disappear completely from her life. In Scott Cawthon's twisted universe, these three teenagers learn that getting what you want can become your worst nightmare. Each character faces consequences that spiral beyond their control as their deepest wishes come true in horrifying ways.
