    300 km/h. One deadly bio-toxin. Two elite agents who would burn the world down to protect each other. Posing as a wealthy couple on a romantic vacation to Kyoto, elite field operative Fred and brilliant tech strategist Agatha board the high-speed Nozomi Shinkansen with a singular mission: intercept Dr. Arisawa, a rogue scientist carrying a pressurized aerosol bio-toxin. Linked only by custom Shared-Frequency Earpieces, their connection is dangerously intimate.

And when Fred and Agatha work together, nothing on earth can stop them.

    Sneak peak snippets: "Please STOP making TikTaks with the supernatural fog that wants to eat us! MB, you're the first one we're going to sacrifice if you don't move!" The kids froze at the sound of Pastor Parks' voice before rushing to grab recording phones off the grocery shelves. "Youth Pastor, um, is this one of those end times signs? Because I know that we've all read the book of Revelations but, um, just wanted to check in?" The way he said it told Pastor Park that he had not in fact read the book of Revelation. The book that they'd been reviewing all month. "You know you have to pay for all the things your youth kids are using, don't yah?" the youth pastor sighed before glaring at the group of boys opening another box of Ding Dongs. "A bunch of ding-dongs for some ding-dongs," the grocery store clerk snickered but tried her best to keep a straight face at the man's look of annoyance. Synopsis: Pastor Park just wanted to get his youth group to their annual winter retreat. Driving thirteen kids ranging in age from 12 all the way up to 24 wouldn't be what he considered the best time of his life. Especially not when they all lacked any semblance of volume control. So you can imagine his ire when forced to stop the van for another bathroom break, a mere 30 minutes from their destination. Kids who didn't even need to use the bathroom pile out of the van, and he watched resignedly before following. Fifteen minutes later while cruising the creepily empty grocery store, he hears the sound of kids screaming and sees an ominous green fog surrounding them with no way out. They never taught him how to handle this kind of stuff in seminary school. One-sentence summary: A youth group, volunteers, and a youth pastor get trapped in a grocery store by a supernatural, ominous green fog.

    I wanted to escape my old life - enough to convince my dad to take me to a cabin buried deep in the woods. I thought it would be quiet. Healing. A place where nothing could reach us. But Shadow Hollow wasn't peaceful. It was waiting. The cabin felt perfect at first... until an ominous note appeared at our door, written by something that knew we were there. Something patient. Something hungry. Then I found a girl unconscious in the woods - beautiful, terrified, and marked by something I couldn't name. I didn't know who she was or how she ended up here. But the moment I saw her, something inside me refused to leave her behind. That's when the shadows started moving. Figures watching us from the treeline. A shapeshifter slipping between forms. A presence that didn't just stalk - it selected. We tried to leave the cabin. We tried to leave Shadow Hollow. But the forest didn't let us go. Because the creature wasn't hunting us by accident. It had already chosen what it wanted next.
