In rural Indiana, graphic designer Elmer Thorne inherits his great-uncle’s farm and its strangest heirloom: a beautiful, macabre altar made of bones. He soon learns it is a magical lock, sealing away a hungry entity from a thin place in reality. Pursued by a ruthless collector who wants to harvest that power, Elmer discovers his own latent “knack” for this bone-deep magic. To save his home and the wider world, he must master his strange inheritance, not with epic spells, but by weaponizing the profound, protective power of ordinary life—love, memory, and the stubborn weight of home.
