Isabelle Hewitt, a resourceful freelance journalist accustomed to pursuing leads others won't touch, grows increasingly alarmed when her longtime collaborator Jack Meyer vanishes without contact for two weeks. His last known assignment took him to the remote regions surrounding Annadeer, where he was tracking a family's mysterious disappearance connected to the sprawling but now-deserted Albrecht Estate—a place whispered to carry an ancestral curse. With local authorities unwilling to act and the number of missing persons in the area mounting, Isabelle finds herself compelled to venture into the same shadowy circumstances that swallowed Jack, determined to uncover the truth beneath the region's dark secrets.
