The Whisper Between Us /Wattys And ONC 2025

In the eerie town of Black Hollow, Naomi Graves, a trauma psychologist, returns to her hometown after years of absence, seeking peace and closure from her painful past. Upon her arrival, she meets Ezra Calloway, a man whose wife, Lilith, mysteriously vanished five years ago. Ezra is haunted by a loss that has consumed him, yet there's an unsettling secret beneath his grief. Something isn't right.

As Naomi and Ezra's connection deepens, their growing bond awakens The Between, a supernatural force that thrives on human emotion, especially love and loss. The force twists their reality, manipulating time and memory, erasing the truth, and bending the world around them.

What Naomi and Ezra don't know is that the force isn't just an outside power-it's connected to Ezra's very existence. He has returned to Black Hollow time and again, each time being erased and replaced by a new version of himself, unable to break free from the Between's grasp.

As the couple unravels the truth about Ezra's repeated returns, they must confront a chilling reality-if they cannot uncover the dark history behind Black Hollow and its strange, haunting force, they will both be lost to the Between forever, consumed by the whispers that twist their lives.
