    Six former high school overachievers-now burned-out professionals in their mid-thirties-drive up to a secluded mountain Airbnb called Casa Alta to finish a research proposal on heritage and adaptive reuse. The house is beautiful, old, and quiet... almost too quiet. There are six bedrooms on the second floor. Six keys waiting in a basket. A cracked family portrait on the wall. Fog that curls around the terrace but never quite touches the house. The caretaker says they're the first guests in a long time. On the first night, someone hears a key turning in the corridor. On the second night, one door locks itself-and the person inside swears they weren't alone. Trapped without signal in the middle of the mountains, the group begins to remember the classmate who vanished years ago, the retreat they never talk about, and the secrets they've built their adult lives around. Casa Alta knows what they did. And it hasn't forgiven them. In this Filipino ghost-whodunit, every room holds a piece of the truth- and every locked door chooses its next confession.

    Dalton checks the stove four times every morning. Not three. Not five. Four. He learned this the hard way when his house caught fire at 9:47 AM after he only checked three times. Seven checks on the locks keep intruders out. Three deep breaths before driving prevent accidents. The numbers have rules. Break them, and disaster follows. His therapist says it's just OCD. His ex-wife says he's teaching their daughter to be afraid of everything. But Dalton knows the truth-the rituals work. Until the day his nine-year-old daughter starts touching her ear three times before answering questions. "I don't know," she whispers. "I just have to." A psychological horror story about compulsion, consequence, and what happens when the numbers you count might be the only thing keeping catastrophe at bay.
