11 parts Ongoing When James Ellis disappears near his small hometown of Wrenbrook at the edge of an ancient forest, his girlfriend Claire embarks on a desperate search to find him. But Wrenbrook is a town built on secrets, and its people live in the shadow of the surrounding woods, haunted by generations-old tales of a mimic that lures the unsuspecting into its depths with familiar voices and faces. As Claire digs into the town's history, she discovers the mimic has claimed lives for centuries, weaving a curse that reaches back to the earliest settlers.
With the help of James's younger brother Oliver and his girlfriend Julia, Claire begins to unravel the mystery behind the mimic's dark power. Together, they plunge deeper into the forest, guided by scraps of lore and fragments of warnings passed down over the years. Yet, each step reveals that the mimic doesn't simply take-it absorbs the memories and essence of its victims, growing stronger with each life it claims.
As they follow the whispers of the past and confront ancient terrors, Claire and her friends realize that finding James might mean facing the forest's darkest secret, where countless souls are trapped, and a malevolent force waits for its next victim. In a race against time, they must confront their deepest fears and the living shadows of the woods, or risk being claimed by the mimic themselves.
