Prize City appears to be a postcard‑picture of suburban bliss: a high‑tech company dominates the landscape, families thrive, and the local high‑school football team never loses. Beneath this sunny veneer, however, lies a chilling secret.

As the community’s secrets begin to surface, the fragile facade of happiness crumbles, revealing a horror that could destroy everything the townspeople have built.
