After the sudden death of his best friend, Cedar Lockwood's life came to a standstill, filled with nothing but illusions born from grief and sighs carrying the hint of unending exhaustion. That is, until one day, he finds a random stranger he met in the graveyard sitting in his bedroom, claiming to be the one assigned to fulfill the final wish of the only person Cedar ever loved.
"Our love, holding the innocence of honey droplets amidst the petals of white roses, cried tears of tormenting grief that day. But it also left me with one final wish that will bind us for the last time ever."
A story of agonizing loss, shattering realities, newborn friendships and thrilling experiences. Will Cedar be able to break free from his cage and embrace what he wants? Will the wish become not only a gift, but also a curse for him?

A group of archaeology students sets out to explore a mesa in Colorado known as "Hellmouth", hoping to find the legendary City of Gold allegedly built by the ancestral Puebloans. The mesa is closed to tourists and explorers and has a dark history of hundreds of people disappearing without a trace over the past centuries.
The group takes horses to reach the remote location, far away from civilization, without any contact with the outside world. While sheltering from a storm in a small cave at night, a landslide blocks the entrance, locking the group in and forcing them to go further inside in search of another exit.
However, they soon realize that they are not alone in the darkness and that some caves should never be entered...
