A deeply unsettling folk-horror mystery where a search for a vanished town's dark secret becomes a descent into paranoia and psychological unraveling in an indifferent wilderness.

In the Fall of 1940, the entire population of Friar, New Hampshire walked together up a winding mountain trail and into the wilderness. Without warning, they left behind everything: their homes, their clothes, and their money. The only clue where they went was a single word etched into stone near the forest’s edge: YELLOWBRICKROAD.
