A group of five teens. A legendary museum. One impossible heist. (just for fun btw!!)

Leila Monroe is the perfect girl: admired by everyone, flawless in every detail, always with the right smile. But behind that polished facade, she hides her true feelings, a prisoner to others' expectations. Alex Carter is her opposite-the rebellious, tattooed troublemaker who lives on the edge. He's exactly the kind of guy Leila should avoid, yet she finds herself drawn to him with an undeniable, forbidden pull. When their worlds collide, what begins as tension becomes an intense attraction. Alex sees beyond Leila's mask, showing her a glimpse of freedom she's never felt before. But that freedom comes with a price. As their connection deepens, Leila must decide: will she risk everything for the one person who truly sees her, or remain trapped in her perfect life?

Duskford Pines isn't on any map, but it has a way of pulling people in-and keeping them there. Brooke Taylor has lived here her whole life. Ella Liu followed the wrong boy here. And Audrey Fitzgerald is still figuring out why she stayed. Together, they've survived late-night diner runs, broken hearts, and the quiet strangeness of a town where the trees lean a little too close. But when students start vanishing, rumors twist through the campus and something dark stirs in the woods. Brooke, Ella, and Audrey are drawn into a mystery that feels older than the town itself-one that doesn't just threaten to expose the secrets around them, but the ones they've been keeping from each other. Because in Duskford Pines, something is always watching.
