In the tightly knit, picturesque town of Elmwood Heights, secrets and cruelty fester beneath the surface. James, a troubled teen with a passion for photography, finds himself the constant target of bullying, tormented by classmates for being different in a town that thrives on conformity. At the heart of his obsession is William, the school's golden boy-a jock with haunting heterochromatic eyes and a dark secret of his own.
As James quietly documents the world around him through the lens of his Polaroid, he is drawn deeper into a dangerous infatuation with William, even as the jock and his friends torment him. But when the torment escalates, pushing James to the brink, his obsession turns deadly, and the town is forced to reckon with a darkness they never saw coming.
Beneath the Polaroid is a dark and haunting story about love, obsession, and revenge set in the 1940s, where societal pressure and buried desires lead two boys down a path from which there is no return. In a town where acceptance is impossible, how far will one boy go for the one he can never have?
Fog is confined in a world where reality slips through his fingers - disconnected from others, haunted by hallucinations, lost in the depths of his mind. In the sterile walls of a psychiatric hospital, he meets Rain, a fragile boy suffering from depression and Snow, a cold medical student who observes people like puzzles.
As Fog is pulled between Rain's emotional force and Snow's detached stability, he faces the ultimate question:
What if the scariest thing isn't losing your mind... but discovering what's lurking inside it, its darkest corners still intact?
