A century of silence shrouds the abandoned mill in Westover, Massachusetts, where an ancient fire claimed the lives of eleven young townsfolk. The town’s folklore remembers the day the mill’s doors slammed shut, sealing rage within its walls. Now, the last of the once-powerful Sturgess family confronts the past by attempting to unlock the mill’s lock, setting loose an elemental fury that waits behind the padlocks. As the town faces the return of its darkest secrets, a story of horror, vengeance, and the lingering power of flame unfolds.
