Her analytical mind sparks to life when a series of mysterious disappearances disrupts the village’s tranquility. The tight-knit community remains silent about its dark past, but Thea is driven by a need for redemption, unafraid to confront danger as she digs deeper into long-buried secrets. As the isolation and unease mount, she finds solace in the wild, rugged landscape while unraveling the mystery.
