A girl arrives in a quiet town by bus, carrying nothing but a suitcase and the belief that this place will finally let her disappear into a normal life. The streets are ordinary, the people are polite. Nothing feels wrong, except the unsettling sense of being watched. Unseen to her, something ancient has already claimed her arrival as an event. As days pass, the town remains peaceful on the surface, but safety becomes conditional, attention becomes inescapable, and love, if it can be called that, is no longer something she chooses. It is something that has chosen her.
