Returning to the lush, green countryside after years of studying abroad was supposed to be a breath of fresh air for Maya. Staying at her grandparents' sprawling, historic estate for a massive summer reunion with her old school crew felt like stepping back into a perfect, golden past. Most of all, she couldn't wait to fall back into the safe, unbreakable sisterly rhythm she shared with Ahelia, her childhood soulmate.
But the warmth of the reunion doesn't last.
It starts with subtle glitches. Ahelia moves with a strange, rigid stiffness. She zones out mid-sentence, staring through Maya with an intensity that makes the temperature drop. Worse, she seems to have completely wiped their most precious childhood memories from her mind.
The true nightmare, however, wakes up in the dark.
Deep in the dead of night, Maya awakens to the feeling of freezing, predatory hands tracing her skin. Someone is creeping into her bed while she sleeps, driven by a suffocating, terrifying infatuation. The entity steering Ahelia's body doesn't want to reminisce about the past. It wants Maya. All to itself.
How do you save a friend when her own flesh has become a cage for something obsessed with you?
