In September 1977, they have a son, Apollo. By the time Apollo is 4, Brian has disappeared. In 1989, 12 year old Apollo receives a cardboard box labeled “Improbabilia” which contains mementos from his father’s life as well as a copy of <i><a href="/wiki/Outside_Over_There" title="Outside Over There">Outside Over There</a></i> from Apollo’s childhood. This incident inspires him to become a rare book dealer. </p><p>Apollo falls in love with a librarian named Emma Valentine. They eventually marry and have a son named Brian. Emma begins having disturbing thoughts that Brian is not really her son and has been replaced by a <a href="/wiki/Changeling" title="Changeling">changeling</a>. Emma and Apollo fight. Apollo contemplates leaving with his son, but falls asleep. He awakens to find himself chained to the radiator. Emma breaks his jaw with a hammer and kills Brian before disappearing. A grief-stricken Apollo holds several of Emma’s coworkers hostage, demanding to know where she has gone. Apollo is convicted and spends two months incarcerated at <a href="/wiki/Rikers_Island" title="Rikers Island">Rikers Island</a>. </p><p>Apollo and his business partner Patrice sell a rare book to William Wheeler. Wheeler tells Apollo that he knows Emma’s whereabouts. Together, they go to <a href="/wiki/North_and_South_Brother_Islands_(New_York_City)" title="North and South Brother Islands (New York City)">North Brother Island</a>. Apollo is captured by a group of women and brought to Callisto, or “Cal”, their leader. All of these women have similar stories; they all killed a child that they believed was replaced with a changeling. Wheeler attacks the compound. Cal tells Apollo to visit Brian’s grave, and that Emma is searching for Brian in the forest. She stays behind as Apollo and the rest of the compound members flee. </p><p>Apollo and Patrice dig up Brian’s grave. Instead of a corpse they find a creature composed of hair, bones, and teeth. Apollo goes to <a href="/wiki/Forest_Hills,_Queens" title="Forest Hills, Queens">Forest Hills, Queens</a> in search of Emma. He encounters a Norwegian man named Jorgen. Jorgen tells Apollo about the <a href="/wiki/Restauration_(ship)" title="Restauration (ship)">Restauration</a>, an 1801 sloop that brought a group of Norwegian immigrants to the USA. Jorgen's ancestor Nils brought a <a href="/wiki/Troll" title="Troll">troll</a> with him from Norway in order to ensure safe passage for his ship. In exchange, Nils and his descendants, including Jorgen, began kidnapping children and giving them to the troll, a cycle that has been ongoing for centuries. William Wheeler is Jorgen’s son. Apollo kills Jorgen. </p><p>Apollo finds Emma in the woods. They return to Jorgen’s house, and Apollo calls Lillian, who reveals that Apollo's father Brian attempted to kill Apollo after she served him with divorce papers, so she killed him to defend her son. Apollo and Emma then find Jorgen's son Wheeler in the basement. He has been streaming a dark web video feed of their son, in which viewers pay for access and wait for Brian to be eaten by the troll. Emma kills Wheeler. They burn the house down and escape through a tunnel in the basement and find the troll’s cave. They attempt to rescue Brian, but the troll eats him. Apollo cuts Brian from the troll’s stomach, and the troll turns to stone as the sun rises.
