A dark, paranoia-soaked supernatural thriller where a mysterious box forces its victim into impossible moral choices with apocalyptic stakes.

When Polly receives a mysterious box, it comes with one rule: place inside something she needs, something she hates, and something she loves. If she doesn’t obey, it will consume everything—and everyone—she’s ever known.
