Cirklen

Engelsfors. Smukt navn, dødssyg by. Omgivet af dybe skove, hvor mennesker ofte farer vild og forsvinder. En nat, hvor månen på mystisk vis farves rød, føres seks teenagere af en mystisk kraft til den nedlagte folkepark. De har intet til fælles. De ved ikke, hvordan de er kommet derhen, eller hvorfor de er der. Men uden hinanden kan de ikke overleve.

 

Lydbogen er indlæst af Grete Tulinius.
