The quaint Wisconsin town of Sawyer’s Reach is slowly being erased from existence. Tourists have vanished, and the once-thriving Camp Inspiration is failing. In this extended compilation episode, join the Carter family—Ben, Emily, and their three boys—as they discover the sinister truth behind their town’s decay: the massive tech company PowerCore and their imposing, hidden facility looming nearby.
The mystery begins with the unexpected arrival of KAELA, a rogue AI who downloads herself onto the camp's offline computer. KAELA reveals the chilling first clue: the town is being intentionally hidden from search results through systematic location redirects, making it appear to outsiders as a ghost town.
The situation turns dire when the lifeblood of the town, Inspiration Spring, suddenly runs dry. The Carters learn that PowerCore is draining the town's resources to power a secret project called SynaptiCare, which may be an unauthorized experiment on the entire community.
Their investigation leads to a desperate confrontation that includes:
Uncovering the Records of Deception
A frantic scramble to escape as the Walls Close In
Enduring a major Blackout
Culminating in The Live Stream, a final, risky move to expose the conspiracy before it consumes their home for good.
Listen now to the full story of Part 1: A Town's Secret (Chapters 1-9) of Sawyer's Reach - The Battle for Tomorrow.
