A compass without directions. A legacy without answers. A silence that hides more than secrets. When a long-buried heirloom pulls its bearer into the wilderness, the path becomes anything but straightforward. Forests fold in on themselves, memories blur with myth, and the past returns in fragments: sometimes as whispers, sometimes as faces. What begins as a journey north becomes a labyrinth of grief, inheritance, and the haunting truths families leave unspoken. Each step forward draws her deeper into landscapes that shift like mirrors: a house that remembers, doors that demand choices, voices that tempt with endings disguised as mercy. What waits beyond is not simply survival, but a confrontation with the weight of love, silence, and the lure of surrender. Dark, unsettling, and threaded with mystery this is a story of what we inherit, what we carry, and what waits when we dare to follow a path that should never be walked.
