Fifty-five years after the Vietnam War, retired Sergeant James Calloway returns to Da Nang seeking a quiet end to a life haunted by a past he can't fully remember. But the land has its own memory, and the ghosts of Thanh My village are not content with staying buried.

As waking visions of a long-forgotten massacre begin to bleed into his reality , James is forced to investigate the truth of what his unit did in 1968. He soon uncovers a second, more chilling mystery: the decorated men of his squad all died within a decade of the war, their deaths ruled as accidents and suicides that look more like a systematic execution to silence witnesses .

Haunted by the literal ghosts of his fallen comrades and the victims he helped create , James forms an unlikely alliance with Minh, a quiet shopkeeper who survived the atrocity . With each unearthed secret, James is pulled deeper into a conspiracy of silence that cost his friends their lives and him his memory. His quest for personal atonement becomes a mission for public justice, where he discovers that peace is not found in forgetting, but in learning to live alongside the ghosts you've made .

A stunning blend of supernatural thriller and historical mystery, Echo of the Bamboo explores the weight of memory, the cost of silence, and the unexpected grace found in bearing witness.
