## Synopsis

Ravenswood (2013-2014) is an American supernatural mystery series created by Oliver Goldstick, I. Marlene King and Joseph Dougherty, broadcast on ABC Family. Across a single ten-episode season of roughly forty-five minutes each, the story follows five strangers who suddenly find themselves bound together by a fatal curse that has haunted the town of Ravenswood for generations. Miranda Collins (Nicole Gale Anderson) and Caleb Rivers (Tyler Blackburn) lead the group, and their search carries them alongside Luke Matheson (Brett Dier), Remy Beaumont (Britne Oldford) and Olivia Matheson (Merritt Patterson). Their engine is a race against time: each character must dig into the town's mysterious and horrible history before the curse strikes again, uncovering old records, buried grudges and hidden family ties. Episodes unfold as tightly plotted clues that tighten the dread week by week, with a suspenseful, eerie atmosphere and an undercurrent of teen anxiety. The series was canceled with its story unfinished, leaving the central mystery open. Fans of Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries and Twin Peaks will find resonance in its blend of small town secrets, young ensemble drama and creeping supernatural dread.
