Everyone told Elise Martin her memories were a lie.
There was no house on Sycamore Lane.
There was no missing brother.
There was no childhood to return to.
But when Elise comes back to her sleepy hometown after her mother's death, she's drawn to the empty lot where her old home used to stand — except no one remembers it ever being there. Not her neighbors. Not the town records. Not even her mother's will, which makes no mention of the land.
Yet Elise remembers everything—the layout of the rooms, the secret hiding spots, the smell of damp wood after storms. And she remembers her little brother, Sam... who vanished without a trace one night, just before everything changed.
When a strange photograph surfaces — one that shouldn't exist — Elise begins to unravel a truth darker than she ever imagined. Someone has erased the past. And they'll do anything to keep it buried.
Because some houses don't just disappear.
They're taken.
A chilling psychological thriller about memory, loss, and the terrifying possibility that reality is not always what it seems.
