Strange mysteries aren't anything new to the teen sleuths known as the Clue Finders; they've been facing them for years. But when their latest case hits closer to home than ever before, a race against time ensues against a force they don't understand and don't have time to learn to defeat.

* PlotRelevantAgeUp: A subtle and possibly unintentional example in the above FreakyIsCool. Owen, Santiago and Joni were all in the same first grade class which would be impossible in canon as Owen is a year younger, and thus probably a grade below, the other two and in no way a GradeSkipper.

* {{Foil}}: Santiago's status as this to Joni is highlighted; she recognizes that he balances her out and while she realizes that his absence isn't fully responsible for her [[IDidWhatIHadToDo recent decisions]] and her FearlessFool tendencies trying to reassert themselves, she still ''really'' isn't enjoying the hole his absence has created in the group.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Joni knows that as a leader, she'll sometimes have to do things that her teammates won't like. She won't enjoy it but she'll do it. In-story the most prominent example is in Chapter 9 where she plugs Laptrap into a mysterious door in hopes of hacking the security system.

* AcademicAthelete: While she doesn't do it competitively, Leslie has taken up cycling and gotten so fit she can keep up with Joni and Owen who could both easily outrun and outlast her as kids.
* AdultsAreUseless: Per usual for the Clue Finders but more justified than usual as the group was investigating something that the adults had already discarded as not worth checking out so going to the authorities wasn't an option.
* EverybodyKnowsMorse: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. Owen, unsurprisingly, doesn't know Morse but in an unexpected twist, Leslie doesn't either. Joni and Santiago learned it one night when neither of them could sleep and they didn't want to wake her parents.
* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: The most likely explanation for why Joni and Santiago haven't confessed their heavily implied feelings for each other yet.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Santiago's implied relationship with Leslie.
* NonActionGuy: Santiago's technical role though he's encouraged to get out of it.
* {{Omniglot}}: May or may not be the case for Leslie but in any case, she's shown to know fluent Arabic in one of Santiago's flashbacks/dreams.
* OnlySaneMan: Santiago plays this role in one of his flashbacks/dreams, pointing out how bad an idea cliff-diving would be. Since Joni nearly drowned, his concern was justified.
* RealDreamsAreWeirder: Santiago is well aware of this…which is why his very vivid, very memorable and very coherent dreams concern him.
* ShesAllGrownUp: A likely explanation for Santiago's enthrallment watching Joni's dancing in one of her flashbacks.
* WeirdnessMagnet: The Clue Finders' stance as this remains and is even lampshaded by Leslie stating that she can't discount Owen's theory about aliens being responsible for the disappearances they're investigating (and which Santiago falls victim to).
