Shermie Pines hadn’t been back to Gravity Falls in years. The once-familiar roads felt distant now, like a past life he’d left behind. As he steps out of his car, the air is thick with the scent of pine trees and the memories of the brothers he left behind. The town is as mysterious as ever, but there's something different in the air—a tension he can’t quite place.

His reasons for returning are simple, yet complex—he needs to find something, or maybe someone. His nephew, Mason, had sent him a cryptic letter last week, mentioning something about a journal and the strange occurrences that had beenhad been happening around town. And then, nothing. Silence.

Now, standing at the edge of the forest, Shermie must decide where to begin. Should he head to the old shack his brothers once fought over? Or perhaps check in with the townsfolk who might remember him? One thing is clear: Gravity Falls still holds its secrets, and this time, Shermie is determined to uncover them—no matter the cost.
