In the silence of the mountains, the most dangerous voice is the one you don't recognize

Eight aspiring writers are selected for a secluded mountain retreat. Their identities are replaced with aliases. Their phones are confiscated. And their only task is to create. But as the days pass and writers start vanishing, they realize the scariest story is the one they’re living. Detective Frank leads the investigation.
