"I killed Delores. Do with me as you will."
As Judy's past with her murdered stepdaughter Delores resurfaces in vivid, disturbing fragments, the cellar becomes more than a prison-it becomes a confessional, a courtroom, and a mirror. Others begin to arrive, each summoned by the same blue-bordered envelope. Each with secrets. Each with sins. Each with a dark heart.
But someone is watching. Recording. Pulling strings.
As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, the community's facade begins to crack. In the shadows, a reckoning gathers force-one that could consume them all.
