The Story

Empty beige background with a small central dot and thin horizontal lines at the top and bottom.

In the summer of 1979, four teenagers from Northwest Indiana discover a mystery that should have stayed buried.

Wilder Keilman, Jasper Givens, Simon Grabowski, and Corinne “CC” Corbin are brought together by a strange key, a forgotten house, and a series of impossible events that challenge everything they believe about the world around them.

What begins as a search for answers quickly becomes a fight to understand why they were chosen, what is following them, and why their friendship may be the only thing standing between them and the darkness closing in.

As shadows appear, memories change, and the boundary between reality and imagination begins to break, the four friends uncover a hidden story stretching back more than a century.

They will have to confront secrets they never wanted to face, fears they never admitted, and a force determined to convince them that they were never meant to stand together.

Because some stories are written before they begin.

And some stories fight back.
