John Klein is a senior reporter for the "Washington Post". He is keen to travel around, investigating and reporting some unexplainable bizarre events. His career can be described as smooth sailing, and there is also a beautiful The beautiful wife Mary. On a calm day, John and Mary decided to buy a house as their new home. On the way back to the house, the talking and laughing couple ran into a sudden storm, lightning and thunder. In the middle, the car overturned, and John, who was awake, sent his seriously injured wife to the hospital. However, the love of the doctor and John could not save Mary's life, and John was deeply saddened.
While cleaning up Mary’s belongings, John saw a sketch that Mary drew a few minutes before the car accident. The image in the painting is indescribable. It seems to be a ghost, strange and vivid, as if leaping and struggling on the drawing paper. Then, ready to come out, seeing this painting, John suddenly remembered the last words Mary said to him before she died: "You can't see it, are you?" When she said this, Mary was desperate, terrified and unfamiliar. The look in his eyes made John's hair horrified.

In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and the pain of losing his wife gradually calmed down in John's heart. What is inextricable is the ghost on the drawing paper. It always lingers in John's hallucinations, memories, and even dreams, and it is also empty. In fact, it was far and near.

It seems that there is a power controlling everything in the dark. John was ordered to go to Richmond to report, but he lost his way on the way and drove on a country road that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. However, the car broke down again at this time. John had to walk to a farmhouse in front of him for help. Unexpectedly, the first sentence the farmhouse owner saw him turned out to be: "I have been waiting for you." John was puzzled.

A local police officer named Connie Parker arrived at this moment. She took John to the police station and told him that this place was called Bliss Town, which was four hundred miles away from the destination John was going to. Right now, the town is in town. Some unbelievable things are happening, and the residents are greatly troubled. John's curiosity broke out, so he decided to stay and investigate. He found that many people in the town had dreamed of the nightmare-like ghost painted by Mary, and it was rumored that it was an alien with mysterious power-the hawkmoth. People, some people have heard its voice, some people have witnessed it with their own eyes, and the residents, like John, are deeply tortured by fear. What kind of connection is there between this monster and the death of his wife? What makes John even more puzzled is that this weird "mothman" seems to foretell human doom and disaster, such as car accidents, plane crashes, earthquakes, death... What John saw and heard cannot be explained rationally. The more the truth is revealed. The more, the more John doubts whether his mind is sound.

Are there really unknown forces controlling all weird phenomena? What terrible things await the residents of Bliss Town? John must race against time, find out all the truth in the shortest time, prevent the next disaster from happening, and save the disappearance of the next life...
