A paranoid supernatural horror about an unstable woman isolated in a cursed town where demons and werewolves blur the line between her fractured mind and genuine supernatural threat.

An author who was sent to the town Drakho, because of a nervous breakdown, gets wound up in a mystery revolving around demons and werewolves. She starts seeing ghosts and dismisses them as her own imagination, but when they turn out to be real she becomes suspicious of the odd town and of its past.
