Salem is an ordinary high school girl, content with her quiet life in New York, until her best friend mysteriously vanishes. As she grapples with the loss, Salem begins experiencing vivid hallucinations and finds herself inexplicably drawn to the dense, eerie wooded park near her home. Frequently, she awakens amidst the towering trees, with no recollection of how she got there.

Determined to find her friend, Salem believes the forest holds the answers. As she ventures deeper into its ever-changing landscape, she encounters cryptid-like creatures that seem to stalk her every move. Trapped in this nightmarish world, Salem must use every ounce of her wits to survive.

After a harrowing escape, Salem returns to her familiar surroundings, only to find that home no longer feels the same. Haunted by her experiences and struggling with persistent hallucinations, she teeters on the edge of a mental breakdown. Just as she starts to believe she might never regain her sense of normalcy, a shocking revelation turns her world upside down.

The forest she fought so hard to escape may have been her true home all along. Now, Salem must uncover the truth about her past and embrace her destiny, even if it means returning to the dark, enigmatic woods that nearly consumed her.

In the quiet town of Devontae, a foreboding forest on the edge of the community is the source of countless whispered warnings and eerie legends. Despite his parents' strict advice to avoid the forest, Ash, a daring and adventurous young boy, is irresistibly drawn to its dark mysteries. Armed with nothing but a flashlight and a compass, Ash sneaks out one moonlit night to uncover the truth behind the forest's menacing reputation. As Ash ventures deeper into the forest, the path soon vanishes, leaving him lost and disoriented. The sounds of cracking bones and a chilling presence force Ash into a desperate sprint for safety. His harrowing encounter with a grotesque creature-part human, part animal-leaves him marked with a mysterious glowing symbol, the Fexlai, tied to ancient and ominous powers. The next day, Ash's encounter with the creature and the symbol haunts him, driving him to seek answers. His search leads him to Mr. Thompson, the town's historian, who reveals the symbol's connection to a guardian of the forest known as the Feralim. The revelation confirms Ash's fears and raises new questions about the forest's secrets and its dark protector. Determined to uncover the truth and lift the curse that now binds him, Ash prepares for another foray into the forest. As he defies his father's orders and sneaks out under the cover of darkness, he realizes that the forest's secrets are far more perilous than he ever imagined. With each step deeper into the woods, Ash must confront his fears, unravel the mysteries of the Feralim, and find a way to escape the forest's sinister grasp before it's too late.
