Fantasy Thriller
Bound by a haunted childhood, siblings Mise’l and Antle are fated to reunite and stand together against a dark force born from their shared past. Once inseparable, their bond was shattered by years of silence and a violent act rooted in homophobia. Now, they must return to Sk+te’kmujue’kati—the Place of Ghosts—a forest alive with ancestral memory, where time shifts and bends. What begins as a confrontation with trauma slowly transforms into a journey of healing, forcing Mise’l and Antle to face their caretaker’s cruelty, buried family secrets, and the deepest shadows within themselves.
