The Hollowridge Loop

Some nights never end. Some deaths never stay buried.

After a fight with her estranged sister, Eris Wren disappears into the fog-covered forests of Hollowridge Gorge-a place whispered about in missing persons reports, old mine collapses, and chilling legends. When her sister Ivy receives a cryptic video days later, showing Eris bloodied and terrified, she knows it's not just a cry for help-it's a warning.

Determined to find her, Ivy gathers a group of friends and follows the trail to a forgotten mining town steeped in mystery. But Hollowridge doesn't follow the rules of the living. Time fractures. Death repeats. The dead speak. And every step deeper into the gorge draws them into a nightmarish loop where survival isn't enough-you have to remember who you are before the place rewrites you.

Each loop resets the horror. Each death feeds the loop. And each betrayal pulls the group further from escape.

Inside the gorge is a masked killer who changes with every reset. A childlike voice that knows their names. A red hourglass that counts down to something worse than death. And a book-a living, breathing record of every cycle and every soul consumed.

One must burn. One must stay. One must betray. One must become. One will be lost.

As Ivy races against time to break the loop and rescue what's left of her sister's soul, she must confront the most horrifying truth of all:

Sometimes the only way out... is to stay inside.
