The grass is greener on the other side. For Leah Edenwood, having a cozy home, a nice lawn and a glass of wine at the end of the day was the only thing she had to worry about. But one day after a stranger approaches her for a seemingly innocent reason, suddenly her world becomes far more complicated than that. 

Visitors who slither and leave symbols creep into her life. Nightmares that threaten her livelihood drain her energy. Too many strange things begin to happen and they bring along the baggage of a dark secret from her past. She thinks she should run, just leave it all but the aid of a handsome fellow Native slowly changes her mind.

Now she has to solve the problem. Why has the curse been put on her and what do they really want? Will Leah even have enough time to end it all or will the haunting collide with her dark past and devour her?

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.
