12 parts Complete MatureIt's 1995, and Cherry Blackthorn has always lived in the shadows of her family's mansion silenced, overlooked, and broken down by parents who worship her twin brother while treating her as a flaw to be erased. Sweet, shy, and tender-hearted, Cherry has always carried more kindness than anyone ever gave back. But after one desperate act, she is locked away in Marrowgate Asylum, a sprawling stone fortress three hours from home, where the halls never feel the same twice and the walls seem to breathe.
Inside, kindness is rare, cruelty is routine, and something unseen feeds on the despair that fills every ward. Whispers echo in the vents. Shadows cling too long. Patients move like puppets to a rhythm Cherry can't hear.
Yet even in her most fragile moments, Cherry refuses to let her hope die. A bunkmate with sunshine in her veins, a nurse who still remembers compassion, and an unbreakable bond with her twin all remind her that light can survive, even here.
As days bleed into nights, Cherry begins to wonder is Marrowgate only a hospital for the forgotten... or a hungry thing in It's own right?
