The quietness between screams

They told her the silence would help her heal.
But no one warned Ivy about the screams.

After a breakdown she can't explain, 19-year-old Ivy is sent to Merrowridge-a crumbling psychiatric retreat buried deep in the mountains. No phones. No clocks. No mirrors. Just silence.

There, Ivy meets Theo: a quiet, beautiful boy no one else seems to see. He leaves her notes. Whispers her name. Touches her like he remembers every inch of her soul.

But the staff insist he doesn't exist.
And Ivy's starting to remember why.

As her reality begins to unravel, Ivy must uncover who Theo really is, why she can't forget him-and what waits in the quiet between screams.
