**Premise:**
Architect Tate Morrow believes they’ve escaped their suffocating hometown of Solitude’s Harvest for good. But a cryptic letter about their estranged mother’s failing health pulls them back into the isolated, corn-fringed valley they fled years ago. The homecoming is anything but warm; the town’s cloying politeness masks a terrifying truth: Solitude’s Harvest is a cult, and Tate’s mother is their next sacrifice to a chthonic god that slumbers beneath the fields.
After a desperate and failed escape attempt, Tate is trapped. The real horror unfolds when they discover an ancestor’s journal, revealing the Morrow bloodline isn’t just cursed—it’s the key that unlocks the ritual. Now, Tate must not only save their mother but confront a monstrous entity that has fed on their family for generations. To break the cycle, they’ll have to delve into the heart of the horror, but some darkness, once disturbed, latches on and follows you back into the light.
