Isabel was a child when her parents died. No answers. No closure. Just something that never felt finished. Years later, she comes to Vesper hoping to understand what really happened. But the town doesn’t feel like a place that gives answers. People look at her too long. Speak carefully around her. Like they already know something she doesn’t. And some things don’t stay in the past. The dreams started back then—and never really stopped. The same girl. The same feeling. Like something is trying to reach her… or pull her back into something she doesn’t understand. The closer she gets to the truth, the more things begin to slip. Memories. Moments. Even herself. And whatever has been following her this whole time— it isn’t waiting anymore.
