In the digital age, the most dangerous predator might be the one that knows your search history.
When the Morrison family moves to the picture-perfect Maple Crescent, they're greeted by the neighbourhood’s self-appointed welcome committee, Robert Henley, whose helpfulness seems almost too good to be true. Armed with homemade cookies, WiFi passwords, and an uncanny knowledge of their preferences, Robert quickly integrates them into the community's digital ecosystem.
As their social media engagement with distant friends mysteriously dwindles and their digital lives become increasingly neighbourhood-centric, Sarah is very much afraid that some neighbours don't just want to borrow a cup of sugar, they want to consume your entire digital existence.
The Welcome is a chilling dystopian technothriller that explores our deepening dependence on technology, the insidious nature of digital isolation, and the terrifying vulnerability of living our lives online.
Genre: Thriller
