Based on a little-known fact of the United States’ involvement in World War II, Draw the Dark is a dark fantasy about reclaiming the forgotten past and the redeeming power of love. What no one expects is for Christian to meet Winter’s last surviving Jew and uncover one more thing best forgotten–the day the Nazis came to town. So it’s no surprise that Christian isn’t exactly popular. Confronted with fears and nightmares they’d rather avoid, people have a bad habit of dying. He can draw the thoughts of those around him. The problem is Christian doesn’t just draw his own memories. Christian’s parents disappeared when he was a little boy, and ever since he’s drawn and painted obsessively, trying desperately to remember his mother. And then there is 17-year old Christian Cage. The near-suicide of a first-grade teacher is another. There are things in Winter, Wisconsin, folks just don’t talk about.
