They came for one last escape.
But something was already waiting.
Ava thought the old lake cabin would be the perfect send-off-a final weekend with friends before adulthood pulled them all apart. Isolated, quiet, untouched for years, it seemed like the kind of place that could hold memories.
But the silence at Lake Wren isn't empty.
It's listening.
When a dead animal appears on the porch, what starts as an eerie coincidence soon spirals into something much more sinister. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Voices whisper through the walls. And the attic door... never stays closed.
As the group unravels under the weight of fear and secrets, Ava begins to question what her uncle left behind-and what has been waiting in the dark all this time.
Some places remember.
Some things never leave.
