A creepy skeletal man watches her from the shadows, tormenting her night after night. Every night, he comes closer. Every morning, she wakes up gasping for air.
But when the horrors start creeping into her reality, she realizes he isn't just a figment of her imagination-he's real. And he wants her dead.
When her history teacher announces a class trip to uncover secrets buried in the past, Paola is horrified. They're walking straight into the nightmare she's been trying to escape. She knows she must stop them. But something inside her is desperate for answers.
Who is the man haunting her? Why is she connected to him? And what will happen when the truth is finally unmasked?
A chilling tale of love, trauma, and terror where the past refuses to stay buried.
Join Paola as she embarks on a horrendous journey.
