At the heart of the novel is 17-year-old Ellie, who is struggling to cope with the recent death of her mother. Withdrawn and isolated, she finds solace in the company of her friends, Sam, a charismatic and enigmatic artist, and Jake, a gentle and caring soul. Together, they form a tight-knit group, spending their days exploring the abandoned ruins of their crumbling city and sharing their deepest secrets.

As the summer solstice approaches, the group decides to embark on a dangerous journey to the ancient forest that lies beyond the city walls. It is said that the forest is haunted by the spirits of the dead, and that those who enter it never return. But Ellie, Sam, and Jake are determined to face their fears and discover what lies within.

Their journey into the forest is a transformative experience. They confront their own demons, learn the true meaning of friendship, and discover the power of love. But as the solstice draws near, they realize that they are not alone in the forest. Something dark and sinister is lurking in the shadows, watching their every move.
