Mystery
​17 year-old Elias and 10 year-old Maya arrive at their grandfather's desolate cabin with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the trauma of their parents' recent murder. The property is dominated by a gnarled, solitary Oak Tree that seems to watch them with a heavy, sentient presence. Desperate to rebuild their shattered lives, the siblings begin repairing the rot, hoping that hard work will mend their fractured faith. However, the isolation of the woods soon feels less like a sanctuary and more like a cage. As the floorboards are pried up and the walls stripped back, they realize the cabin was never meant to be a home, but a seal. ​The atmosphere shifts when Elias uncovers a hidden cellar containing disturbing journals and artifacts that shatter his image of his family. He learns that his father and grandfather weren't the simple men he remembered, but guardians of a legacy rooted in blood and ancient pacts. This revelation turns their grief into a waking nightmare as they realize their parents' deaths weren't a random act of violence, but a failed payment. The very foundation of the cabin is soaked in secrets that suggest their family's hands were never clean. ​Terrified but determined, Elias assumes the role of a protector, barricading the doors against the human killers stalking the woods and the supernatural horror within. As a Tall-Thin Man begins to manifest in the shadows of the Oak Tree, his elongated limbs tapping against the glass of Maya's bedroom window. Every time the sky darkens and the rain begins to fall-the titular "tears of heaven"-the entity grows stronger and more physical. Elias must now find a way to break the ancestral curse before the creature claims Maya as the final installment of a debt he never signed for. He realizes that to save his sister, he might have to become the very thing he feared his father was.

Thrust into his family through marriage, Aradhya finds herself torn between old wounds and the possibility of a new beginning.
