Sunny Skies finally has a good life put together. A beautiful wife, a happy town, and a yearly festival (which he owes to a certain team of lovely young go-getters). It's all falling into place.

Never mind that his ex, Gilda, sent him a letter. Never mind that she wants to come talk to him, or that he isn't sure how Petunia's going to react. Everything will turn out fine...

...or so he thinks, until he wakes up to the sound of Petunia screaming for help. Now the town's gray again, and something wicked is lurking in Hope Hollow.
