Best friends Zoe and Elle share a secret. Every day after school, they vanish into the forest that borders their small town. The wilderness offers a fragile escape from the chaos of home, but it also hides something far more dangerous.
Deep among the trees stands a rotting Victorian mansion. The doors fall open, walls whisper, and candles flicker as it watches them.
Inside, the girls find a decaying home full of tainted fruit, twisted love, and a family trapped by grief and madness. Centuries-old secrets fester in the shadows and trauma binds all who cross the threshold.
As the house tightens its grip, the girls must dig through its dark history before it swallows them whole. But something, or someone, isn't ready to let them go.
