When Clara wakes in an apartment with only fragments of her memory, a cybernetic caretaker named Wesley tells her she’s in quarantine for a lifesaving experimental treatment. He promises she’s safe—so long as she follows the rules.
No leaving the building. No meeting the other residents. No questions about the noises.
But the walls shake with inhuman growls. Something screams in the vents at night. And the pounding gnaws at her sanity.
As the days blur into weeks, Wesley becomes Clara’s anchor, her confidant, her only connection to a world she can no longer trust. Yet the more she clings to him, the more the cracks in her reality widen. What is this place? What is she becoming? And why does Wesley seem to care for her so deeply?
When love is the only thing that feels real, Clara must decide whether to believe the machine who comforts her… or the terror clawing at the walls.
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror and atmospheric sci‑fi horror with a romantic edge.
Genre: Science Fiction
