In a small, unassuming town, the quiet life of high school senior Mia Reynolds takes a sinister turn when she is left alone at home one evening to babysit her younger brother. As darkness falls, the eerie stillness of the house is broken by a series of unsettling phone calls from an unknown caller. Initially brushing them off as harmless pranks, Mia soon becomes increasingly unnerved as the calls take a darker turn, revealing an unsettling connection to a series of recent unsolved disappearances in the area.

Mia, a fiercely independent and resourceful young woman, must balance her responsibilities as a caretaker while grappling with fear and paranoia.

As Mia’s resolve strengthens, she becomes determined not only to protect her brother but also to uncover the truth behind the depraved killer stalking their neighborhood.

Enter Detective Leo Harris, a seasoned officer with a reputation for solving even the most perplexing cases. After receiving a tip about the unsettling phone calls, he teams up with Mia, guided by their mutual desire to find answers before it’s too late. With the clock ticking, Mia and Leo dive into a web of secrets that expose the town’s darkest corners, revealing that the past isn’t as buried as it seems. They’ll navigate a labyrinth of clues, uncover hidden connections, and confront their own fears, discovering the strength of their bond along the way.
