What has happened to the girl is not an isolated incident: in fact, the entire town is shaken by sightings of strange humanoids. Meanwhile, other children begin to disappear while adults are either found hanged or crucified and burned. Animals, on the other hand, are given terrible mutilations.

Written de Alex Child and Miles Harrington, Treehouse, as the title itself specifies, has as the focus of the story the tree house i.e., a kind of shelter that serves as protection from the forces of Evil.
The release date has not yet been officially announced.
