When Ethan Cole and Marissa Lane move to the once-thriving industrial city of Blackgate, they think it's the perfect place to rebuild their lives. But from the moment they arrive, something feels wrong.

The neighbors stare too long, as if measuring them. The streets seem to twist in ways no map can explain. And then come the voices in the dead of night—chanting the same phrase over and over:

"Welcome to Blackgate."

Soon, Ethan discovers that Blackgate isn't just haunted—it's alive. The city is a predator, reshaping itself to trap its residents, feeding on their fear and memories. Those who try to leave vanish into thin air, their faces later appearing in the crowds as if they'd never existed.

As reality begins to unravel, Ethan and Marissa must uncover the city's dark origin and find a way out before Blackgate makes them part of its ever-hungry soul.
