A dark, atmospheric psychological horror that weaves political oppression and supernatural dread through a 1960s school setting, grounded in the search for missing friends caught in an ideological crackdown.

In the 1960s, two classmates go looking for their missing friends and teachers, all of whom took part in an illegal book club, only to come face to face with ghosts and deformed monsters that have taken over their school.
