When journalist Lena Mercer receives a cryptic message from her estranged brother claiming that “they are already here,” she dismisses it as paranoia.
Three days later, he disappears without a trace.
Searching for answers leads Lena to Black Hollow, an isolated town buried deep within the northern wilderness — a place where people avoid eye contact, conversations stop when strangers enter the room, and no one seems willing to acknowledge the growing number of missing residents.
At first, the town appears ordinary.
Until Lena notices the mistakes.
A waitress who forgets how to blink.
Neighbors who repeat the same phrases word for word.
Children who draw the same faceless figures over and over again.
