In the heart of a forgotten town stands Ravenshade Hospital, a long-abandoned institution shrouded in dark legend. Its crumbling walls and broken windows hide more than just decay-they hold the restless spirits of those who died within, their tormented souls never able to escape. Over the years, countless groups of curious teens have ventured inside, drawn by the hospital's eerie reputation, but none have ever returned. Whispers tell of strange sounds in the halls, flickering lights, and shadowy figures that stalk the living.
One fateful night, a group of teens, eager for thrills, dares to enter Ravenshade. They explore its haunted corridors, their laughter quickly turning to fear as the building seems to come alive around them. One by one, they vanish, as if swallowed by the very walls. Only Lily, a terrified but determined teen, manages to flee. She stumbles out into the cold night, heart pounding, and makes her way to the nearest airport, desperate to escape the nightmare that haunts her.
Lily boards a plane, believing she has outrun the terror of Ravenshade. But as the plane soars into the night sky, the weight of what she has witnessed takes its toll. Exhausted and broken, Lily drifts into a deep sleep, her body finally succumbing to the horrors she's endured. She dies quietly in her seat, the flight attendants unaware of the tragedy until it's too late.
Though Lily is the only one to escape Ravenshade, she is not truly free. The hospital's curse followed her, and in the end, it claimed her life as well, leaving behind only the chilling reminder that some places are never meant to be left behind.
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream.
There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time.
Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions.
Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even.
For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?"
