Au milieu des bois se trouve une maison appelée Lichen Hall.

Cet endroit est entouré de folklore – de vieilles histoires de fantômes, de sorcières, d’un enfant qui n’est pas tout à fait un enfant.

Aujourd’hui, les bois se rapprochent, et quelque chose s’est déchaîné.

Pearl Gorham arrive en 1965, faisant partie d’un groupe de jeunes femmes envoyées à Lichen Hall pour accoucher. Elle soupçonne rapidement les propriétaires de cacher quelque chose.

Elle fait alors la connaissance d’une mère mystérieuse et d’un jeune garçon qui vivent dans le domaine. Ensemble, ils commencent à percer les secrets de cet endroit.

Alors que la vérité fait surface et que les ténèbres s’installent, Pearl doit repenser tout ce qu’elle savait – et risquer ce qui lui est le plus cher.

In the midst of the woods stands a house called Lichen Hall.

This place is shrouded in folklore – old stories of ghosts, of witches, of a child who is not quite a child.

Now the woods are creeping closer, and something has been unleashed.

Pearl Gorham arrives in 1965, one of a string of young women sent to Lichen Hall to give birth. And she soon suspects the proprietors are hiding something.

Then she meets the mysterious mother and young boy who live in the grounds – and together they begin to unpick the secrets of this place.

As the truth comes to the surface and the darkness moves in, Pearl must rethink everything she knew – and risk what she holds most dear.
