Beschreibung
Twenty years ago, under a blood-red moon on the jagged cliffs of Havenwood, Maine, five teenagers made a pact, a childish vow sealed with an antique silver locket. Meant to bind them together forever, it instead shattered their lives when Katie plunged into the churning sea, the locket disappearing with her. Her death was ruled an accident, but the ocean held its secrets, and so did Havenwood.Now, a cryptic text message splinters the fragile peace of the remaining four: “Some promises, especially those made under a blood moon, are meant to be broken.” Liam, the brooding artist haunted by spectral visions, Olivia, the sharp lawyer cloaked in professional detachment, Nathan, the charismatic politician clinging to a crumbling facade, and Chloe, the quiet observer guarding a devastating secret, are dragged back to the scene of their shared trauma.The funeral becomes a tense reunion, the unspoken accusations hanging heavy in the air like Havenwood’s pervasive fog. Cryptic messages escalate, each a twisted echo of their buried past. A strange symbol etched on driftwood, a blood-red rose on Katie’s grave, a faded feather tucked into a childhood diary—chilling reminders become clues, leading them back to the night of the ritual and the horrifying truth they’ve tried to forget.But Havenwood holds more than just secrets; it harbors a supernatural dread. Local legends whisper of a dark energy tied to the cliffs, to the locket itself—a conduit they unwittingly unleashed. When Nathan is found dead, his body posed in a macabre reenactment of their teenage ritual, the remaining friends realize they aren't just revisiting the past; they're trapped within it.Liam’s artistic visions intensify into terrifying premonitions. Olivia’s analytical mind uncovers a pattern in the clues, connecting the locket to a history of unexplained disappearances. And Chloe, forced to confront her secret, emerges as a surprising force, her quiet observations revealing a hidden strength.As a violent storm mirrors the turmoil within their souls, the past and present converge in a terrifying showdown on the windswept cliffs. The identity of their tormentor is a shocking revelation, a figure intertwined with Havenwood’s dark history and Katie’s unspoken desires. The truth about Katie’s death—a tragic miscalculation in her own twisted plan—unleashes a vengeful spirit seeking to draw them into her spectral realm.In a desperate fight for survival, Liam, Olivia, and Chloe must confront not only the truth about Katie’s death but the deeper, more unsettling truth about the power they unleashed. In a final, heart-pounding act, they must choose between loyalty and survival, between facing the truth and succumbing to the suffocating weight of their shared guilt. Can they sever the connection to Katie’s restless spirit and finally escape the haunting grip of Havenwood’s past? Or will the secrets of the blood moon claim them all?
