What is Dark peak about?

During a long, hot summer, two children disappear during a school trip to Lud’s Church, a deep chasm in the Peak District. Porter and his friend Sam are sent to find help, but when they return, only Stephanie has been found—and nobody seems to remember Stephen at all. As Porter investigates, strange gaps in memory and unsettling clues point towards an ancient legend. What happened in the darkness of Lud’s Church, and are supernatural forces still at work?
