July 16, 1988. Five friends enter the ruins hidden deep in the Oregon woods, chasing a summer adventure.
Something is hunting them. Something ancient, monstrous and hungry. It takes them one by one, leaving behind nothing but whispers and empty spaces where they once stood.
Elias Ross never wanted to come here in the first place. Now, he's trapped in a nightmare, an endless suffering that he will never be able to get rid of, watching his friends vanish into the dark. With Vance, the only one left, he has no choice but to return to the ruins and fight. But the thing waiting for them in the shadows isn't just a monster. It's something far worse. And it wears the faces of the ones they lost.
They thought they could survive. They were so wrong.
