Quick recap

Billy arrives at Camp Nightmoon and everything's off: bad food, strange counselors, and a director, Uncle Al, who seems unhinged. Campers start to vanish. Mike's snakebite gets worse, Colin gets hurt, and Jay says Sabre, a creature in the woods, took a friend the staff swears never existed. Girls from the other side say kids are disappearing there too, and Billy finds the phones and mailbags are fake. Finally Uncle Al orders Billy to hunt escapees with a rifle, and he refuses. It was a government test, and Billy's parents are scientists headed for a faraway planet called Earth.
