Nobody knows when the Silhouette first emerged, or how long it has haunted humanity. Known only to a terrified few, it thrives in darkness-whispering chaos into the world's fractured corners and feeding on fear. Its victims, broken by stress or trauma, are its only sustenance.
As five University of Maine students brace for finals, exhaustion frays their sanity. Their dreams betray them, stalked by an inescapable figure. Daylight offers no reprieve: in peripheral flashes they glimpse the same unnatural shadow, as if reality itself is unravelling.
Fleeing the university's walls, they retreat to Bar Harbor, seeking safety between rocky shores and crashing waves. Yet the silence here is deceptive. With each passing moment, tensions rise, and dread tightens its grip. Trapped in an isolated sanctuary, these friends must unravel the enigma of the Silhouette-and find a way to outlast its hunger. Time is running out, and in the darkness, survival may depend on trusting one another... before the shadows consume them all.
