No one leaves the woods.

Caila is no exception. Buried alive and left for dead, the twenty-year-old woman finds salvation in Locke Bauer: the young man who rescues her from her coffin.

When a devastating storm leaves her with no way out, Locke offers shelter at his family's home. His parents relay superstitious rules of survival, and his son claims her as a new best friend. Despite their kindness in tragedy's wake, Caila counts the days until she can leave the cursed land and its horrific foggy memories behind.

But the woods do not release their prey so easily. And they do not take kindly to broken rules.

As Caila's disobedience spawns ghastly consequences, she is faced with a choice: obey the wind's whispered commands, or face the wrath of the bloodthirsty entity that followed her home.
