Some things don’t stay buried. When folks killed in a devastating accident begin to creep back—silent, twisted, and empty—a remote mountain town must confront the ghosts buried in its history.

This is a slow-burn supernatural folk horror exploring guilt, unresolved grief, and the dark secrets we can never outrun.
