A forest fire was just the beginning. What followed... had been waiting for years.
When married hikers Elijah and Claire set out to explore the untamed North American wilderness, they never imagined the sky would turn to ash and the woods would trap them inside a nightmare. After a sudden wildfire cuts them off from civilization, they must rely on each other to survive the elements-but the forest isn't just burning.
It's remembering.
Stalked by strange sounds, haunted by vanishing paths, and shadowed by a faceless creature known only as The Burnt One, the couple must uncover the forest's secrets before it consumes them. Each step brings them deeper into nature's judgment-where memories breathe, and the trees never forget.
