Everyone said their town was safe.
Everyone said people don't just vanish.
Until he did.
A beloved student disappears without a trace - no clues, no witnesses, just silence.
Then the first discovery is made: a blood-stained ribbon... and something far worse hidden in a trash bin.
The police search. The town whispers.
But behind the smiles and morning greetings, someone is watching. Someone is waiting.
And under the gentle bloom of sunflowers, the real horror begins to grow.
Because sometimes the most perfect faces...
hide the darkest secrets.
