A young girl lives under a shadow she barely understands. Most of the time she is solemn, withdrawn and burdened by a sadness that seems too heavy for her age. But whenever she smiles, something changes, and when she does not, people around her have a way of disappearing or turning up dead.

As fear, grief and suspicion tighten around her family, those closest to her are forced to confront the possibility that something unnatural is shaping their lives. Blending horror with dark humour, family drama and sharp social commentary, this is a story about pain, perception and the terrifying consequences of what hides beneath the surface.
