Twelve-year-old Owen "Rocket Man" Thom looks forward to the beginning of a magical 80s summer, celebrating his thirteenth birthday and riding BMX bikes with his Crew.
Owen zooms down a local dirt track, ready to break an all-time "max air" record when something strange goes wrong, leaving him injured.
Unfortunately, the event kicks off a series of twisted, terrifying troubles.
In the nostalgic vein of Stranger Things and Stephen King's terrifying "It," "The Almost-Apocalypse of Apple Valley" keeps you turning the pages and rooting for the kids.
