Whispering Roots

A rainforest haunted by silence. A missing brother. A truth older than the trees.

When corporate investigator Elena Morales is sent to a remote Mexican logging site to assess a failing operation, she expects faulty equipment or local sabotage. Instead, she finds a town paralyzed by fear, men vanishing into the jungle, and whispers of ancient spirits called Chaneques-childlike forest guardians who punish trespass with terrifying precision.

What begins as a routine report spirals into a journey of unraveling reality. Elena teams up with Javier, a grieving brother whose sibling disappeared near the forbidden heart of the forest. Together, they must navigate vanishing paths, twisted steel, and creatures that bend both flesh and logic. As local folklore bleeds into fact, Elena must confront the possibility that not everything that vanishes is lost-and not everything human should be rescued.

Blending psychological horror with indigenous mythology, The Whispering Roots is a tense, atmospheric descent into the unseen rules of nature, where the price of trespassing is steep, and the forest never forgets.
