The body was hanging upside down in a pine tree, blood dripping down to the ground forming a small puddle of blood mixed with dirt, the light from the flashlight danced over the body and the injuries it had sustained. The air went colder by the minute as the night went on and an eerie felling crawled up their spines, they knew they were no longer alone. Deep in the forest they could feal a pair of eyes watching them, studying them as they looked over the body, they turned the flashlight around letting the light get swallowed up by the darkness a few meters a head of them. They moved the light around hoping to get a chance to see what it was but to no avail, a cold wind swept down from the mountains rustling the vegetation. As the night drew closer the forest became more and more quiet making the slightest sound audible, it became apparent that it was too dark to do anything it was better to go back to the car and call it in. They turned around and started to walk back to the path they had left a few minutes before, SNAP, the loud sound of a twig snaping made them freeze. The flashlight flickered and the two took sharp shaky breath and looked at each other and then in to the dark night.

There is a town where no sound exists. And something is listening. When investigative journalist Tamara Anderson stumbles upon an isolated town shrouded in an unnatural, suffocating silence, they think it's just another strange mystery waiting to be uncovered. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the truth becomes-anyone who makes a sound vanishes into the mist, their voices returning as whispers in the night. The townspeople refuse to explain. They only warn: never speak, never break the silence. But the Tamara refuses to obey. As the fog thickens, they begin to hear voices-voices of those who are supposed to be dead. Something ancient and hungry is stirring beneath the mist, and the silence is the only thing keeping it contained. With time running out, they risk everything to escape. They break the silence. They flee. They survive. Or so they think. As they step into the world beyond the town, ready to scream for help, a chilling realization hits them like a death sentence- The world outside has gone silent too. --- Now marked by the very thing she came to expose, Tamara must unravel the town's terrifying secrets before she becomes the next to vanish. But in BLACKWATER , some truths are better left buried. Because once the fog knows your name... It never lets you go. ---
