Every night at exactly 12:00 a.m., someone knocks on her door. ‎ ‎Soft. Slow. Twice. ‎ ‎And they never speak. ‎ ‎When Mara moves into Block 17, she thinks the strange midnight knocks are just a neighbor's prank. Until the night she finally opens the door... and finds a small, rain-soaked diary lying on her doorstep. ‎ ‎Inside the diary are the final words of Amara, a girl who lived in the same apartment before mysteriously disappearing. Each page reveals secrets Mara was never supposed to know-secrets about the building, the neighbors, and a shadow that follows anyone who tries to uncover the truth. ‎ ‎But the deeper Mara reads, the more she begins to feel like she's being watched too. ‎ ‎And the midnight knocks don't stop. ‎ ‎They get louder. Closer. More desperate. ‎ ‎Now she must decide: Should she keep reading the diary... or escape Block 17 before she becomes the next missing girl? ‎ ‎
