In a small and mysterious village in France, life unfolds in apparent lethargy until inexplicable disappearances begin to occur. Shadows lengthen and rumors grow: someone—or something—is feeding on the souls of the inhabitants. The life of Clémence, a young librarian, takes a dramatic turn when her younger brother, Lucas, disappears without a trace. With a mix of desperation and determination, Clémence embarks on a dangerous quest to uncover the truth.
With the help of Leo, her best friend and a skeptical journalist, Clémence delves into the hidden history of the village. As they investigate, they unearth tales of ancient rituals and dark legends suggesting that the entity taking people is not new but has been lurking in secret for centuries. As they delve deeper into the mystery, the connection between the missing becomes clearer: they all shared a dark secret that threatens to come to light.
Tension rises as the night of the ritual approaches, and Clémence must confront her own demons and her family's dark legacy to save Lucas. In a race against time, the young woman discovers that the only way to face this threat is to confront the past and accept that sometimes, what we fear the most is closer than we imagine. With unexpected twists and an unsettling atmosphere, this story weaves horror and drama into an exhilarating journey.
