In the secluded town of Hollow Creek, an eerie silence falls as night descends, trapping residents in a web of dark secrets. Each evening, the forest whispers and shadows instill fear in the townspeople.

Determined to uncover the truth behind the town's mysteries, 25-year-old Clara Hart confronts haunting memories of her vanished friends. As she explores Hollow Creek's dark history, she learns the forest is a living entity that feeds on the town's fears.

Clara teams up with an enigmatic outsider and a reclusive local, discovering a shocking conspiracy: the townspeople, bound by an ancient pact, will do anything to keep the forest's secrets hidden. As she navigates treacherous encounters, Clara realizes that danger lurks within those she trusted.

With each revelation, her resolve strengthens, but so does the threat. As the final confrontation approaches, Clara must decide how far she'll go to escape the town's grip and confront the darkness within. The battle for freedom becomes a fight for survival, leading her to the ultimate question: what price will she pay for liberation?

Will Clara unravel the truth before the forest claims her, or will she become just another shadow lost to the hollow?
