Season 1
Episode 13

Description
It was the summer of the cicada swarm, the one that came seventeen years early. Luna remembers the old man on Sycamore Lane who built birdhouses — hundreds of them, hanging from every branch and eave. But the birds never came. Not once. And when she finally asked why, he told her about the bargain he'd made with something that nested in the pine grove behind his house. Something that wore his wife's voice and counted his breaths. Something that only wanted the birdhouses to be empty. This is a story about love, and silence, and the shape of a promise you cannot take back.
