One youth group. 
One weekend retreat. 
One last winter. 
Let the games begin. 

Two devastating deaths catapult Oriana's entire youth group into a heavy state of mourning and depression. Even her first semester at college can't shake this horrible loss from her life. No amount of classwork and new friends can distract her from the nightmare that had taken place the summer before. She returns back home for winter break with a sense of dread. The youth group would never be the same as it was before she graduated high school.

Desperate to repair what has been broken, the youth group is taken to a weekend retreat at a big lodge in the snowy mountains of Michigan, with hopes of reviving the lost spirit of the youth. 

Things take a turn for the worst when members start to go missing one by one. Oriana and her younger sister, Nelia, quickly realize that there might be someone else--or someTHING--lurking around the lodge.

Deception. Secrets. Revenge. Lies. Insanity. Terror.

Will the youth group survive the weekend?

People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

While both Daniel and Amanda are confused by their surroundings, they try their best to think rationally.
