Through the Mountains

Through the Mountains

Edith "Edie" Walker has spent her whole life in Bell River, Mississippi, a town where everybody knows your family, your business, and exactly who they expect you to become.

After a betrayal she can't ignore and a fight with her father that leaves old wounds split back open, Edie does the one thing she's talked about doing for years: she leaves. With a half-packed car, a stack of playlists for places she's never been, and no real destination in mind, she heads west chasing the kind of life she used to imagine for herself as a little girl.

At first, the road feels like freedom.

But somewhere between roadside diners, lonely highways, and cheap motels glowing under neon signs, small things begin to feel wrong. A stranger staring too long. A truck that keeps reappearing. Objects slightly out of place. Coincidences that stop feeling like coincidences.

Still, Edie tells herself she's overthinking.

Atmospheric, intimate, and quietly unsettling, Through the Mountains is a Southern Gothic psychological thriller about loneliness, memory, reinvention, and the uneasy line between being watched and simply feeling seen.
