This is not your usual apocalyptic story. Six friends grow up in Edenvale, a quiet town that believes the future still matters. The summer before graduation, rumours spread — not of violence, but of people acting wrong. Forgetting names. Fixating on patterns. Hearing things no one else can. When the group begins documenting strange behaviour for a paranormal research club, they don’t realise they’re recording the early stages of something no one has a word for yet. It isn’t an infection. It isn’t madness. And it doesn’t affect everyone the same way. As pressure builds — environmental, social, psychological — the lines between stress, illness, and choice begin to blur. Some people adapt. Some people disappear. Some people change in ways that can’t be undone. This is not the end of the world. It’s the moment people stop understanding each other
