After a public breakdown wrecks his screenwriting career, Calvin Reade retreats to the one place he swore off forever his childhood home in the woods of Maine. The house has been untouched since the fire that killed his mother decades ago. But it hasn’t been silent.

Determined to face the past and finish the script that’s stalked him for years, Calvin finds the place eerily preserved yet alive with memory. Script pages appear in his study that he never wrote. Old footage surfaces that shouldn’t exist. And behind a sealed door, a piano plays itself in the dark.

As dreams bleed into daylight and family truths unravel, Calvin starts to wonder if the story he’s been chasing is his to tell at all or if something else is rewriting it for him.

A gothic domestic thriller where memory warps, identity slips, and the past refuses to stay buried.

What if the biggest lie isn’t what you forgot, but what you chose to remember?
