Deep in the remote hollers of Appalachian West Virginia, the McBride family lives in near-isolation, clinging to their land and legacy like their ancestors before them. Generations of hardship have forged them tough and close-knit, bound by blood, secrets, and the rhythms of the mountains. But when the family matriarch, Alma McBride, begins speaking in tongues and carving strange symbols into the trees, something ancient stirs in the surrounding woods - something that has waited lifetimes to be remembered.
As animals vanish, the forest falls silent, and the youngest child begins sleepwalking deep into the hills, it becomes clear: the McBrides are being hunted. Not by man, not by beast - but by something older than both. Something that knows their names. Something tied to a buried piece of family history no one dares speak of.
With the isolation of winter closing in and the nearest town miles away, the family must confront their own fractured past to survive. As the unseen force tightens its grip, each McBride is faced with a terrible question: is the evil outside their home... or already inside it?
A chilling blend of Southern Gothic and supernatural horror, Hollowbone explores the weight of generational trauma, the mythic power of folklore, and the price of silence in a place where the land never forgets.
