Soundroot

Some roots run deeper than memory. Some songs were never meant to end.

When Veena dies without warning, Rhea's world unravels. They were roommates, musical collaborators, inseparable friends-and now Rhea is left alone in their apartment, surrounded by the plants they once nurtured together and the music they never finished.

Then the plants start acting strange.
They lean toward her guitar. Leaves rustle and whisper without wind. And when she plays certain melodies, something-someone-seems to respond.

Drawn back to the old banyan tree where she and Veena used to jam, Rhea places a hand on the bark... and hears a voice in her head.
It knows her. It won't let her go until it's spoken. And it's only the beginning.

As the line between sound and spirit blurs, Rhea is pulled into a hidden world-one where the plants speak in silence, straining to communicate what they've long been listening to, what they've never been able to say. Somewhere beneath it all lies the truth about what really happened to Veena.

But the closer Rhea gets to the truth, the more she wonders:

Who-or what-called her back?
And will it ever let her leave?

Soundroot is a chilling, lyrical journey into grief, obsession, and the secret life of the green things we think we own-but that may have owned us all along.
