Thirteen-year-old Callum Blake thought the worst thing about moving to The Granger apartments was leaving his old life behind. He was wrong.

After his father's sudden death, Callum and his emotionally withdrawn mother relocate to a decaying apartment complex on the foggy outskirts of the city. Plagued by grief and insomnia, Callum discovers he possesses a terrifying gift—he can witness residual memories left behind in physical spaces, echoes of the past that cling to walls, floors, and forgotten corners.

Most of these visions are unsettling but harmless glimpses into former tenants' lives. But Room 213 is different.

Boarded up for decades, Room 213 has been the site of numerous disappearances spanning forty years. People who entered never emerged—no screams, no traces, just empty silence. The room, however, remembers everything.

As Callum delves deeper into the building's dark history, he forms an unlikely alliance with Ezra Martin, a sharp-tongued girl whose sister vanished into Room 213 ten years ago. Together, they uncover a web of forgotten tenants, buried lies, and an ancient consciousness that feeds on unresolved grief and lost memories.

But the room has been watching Callum since his arrival, and it wants more than just his memories—it wants his soul. To save himself and the remaining tenants, Callum must face the darkest echo of all: his father's final moments, and the truth about why they really came to The Granger.

In this atmospheric supernatural thriller, memory becomes both weapon and trap, grief transforms into a living thing, and some doors should never be opened—no matter how loudly they call your name.
