Sarah, a talented but disillusioned photojournalist, has lost her way in life after a tragic event that shattered her spirit. She seeks solace and a fresh start in a remote cabin left to her by her late grandmother. Her desire for peace, however, is dashed when she discovers a mysterious diary hidden in the cabin's attic. Intrigued, Sarah starts to read the diary's cryptic entries, which leads her to discover a long-buried family secret. As she investigates the truth, Sarah becomes entangled in a web of deception, betrayal, and a decades-old unsolved murder. Sarah must confront her past, find inner strength, and navigate the treacherous wilderness to expose the truth before it consumes her.

Steady Ground | ✔
He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.
