When Autumn glimpses familiar moonlit hair on a crowded city street, the impossible happens—the boy she's never been sure was real suddenly stands before her as a man. Years ago, they were two children in a pharmaceutical nightmare, and he became her anchor to sanity, though everyone insisted he was just a medication-induced dream. Now, as their connection reignites with undeniable intensity, Sam holds the key to the dark secrets of her past—secrets tied to a corruption too sinister to name. Together, they must face the truth of what happened to them and to countless others, with only each other's fractured but resilient hearts to guide them through the darkness.
Reading soundtrack
Haunting indie and alternative rock with ethereal vocals, dark atmospheric production, and emotional intensity. Mix brooding introspection with moments of hope—think Phoebe Bridgers, Cigarettes After Sex, and Chelsea Wolfe. Slow-burn tension wrapped in moonlit mystery.
