Synopsis
Being alone is something Hannah Split has experienced more often than most, but it still terrifies her, all the same. Years of bullying and rejection routinely force Hannah to seek absolution in the lonely darkness of an emotional abyss. All she ever wanted was to be accepted… to be loved. All she ever received was a storm of indefensible loathing and mental abuse leading to indescribable solitude.
So, when Hannah wakes on an isolated beach – alone – after a boating trip with newfound friends, her worst fears are already frothing at breakneck pace. A solitary tent lies crumpled on the sand in front of her, embraced by a scattering of personal items – all forsaken without any obvious rationale. There are no signs of life. Hannah is entirely alone. But worst of all…
She has no memory of the last few days – or of how she got onto that beach.
As she explores the mysterious coast for answers, Hannah quickly realizes that there is no escape from the beach itself – impenetrable cliffs incarcerate her to the water’s edge on every side. With nothing to eat and no fresh water, if Hannah is to survive, she needs to unearth how she got to that beach, what took place in the days before and, most importantly, what the hell happened to her friends.
But Hannah’s first discoveries confirm that all is not what it seems. And, as she works her way through a trail of clues – a wrecked lifeboat, a series of puzzling photographs, a macabre burial site – her ability to keep her psychological demons restrained begins to falter. Hannah must now not only struggle for primordial survival, but she must also confront the devils dancing without contrition inside her head.
As she formulates an escape plan from the beach, Hannah quickly learns that her idyllic surroundings harbor a dreadful, terrifying ocean of secrets. She discovers that her friends are not missing at all. They’re dead… hunted and murdered by a spine-chilling monster they’ve named “The Scourge”…
And now it is hunting Hannah, too.
If she is to survive, Hannah must somehow uncover the truth of what has transpired on the beach and defeat the monstrous devil hunting her, at every turn. Only then can she execute her plan to escape her beach prison, once-and-for-all.
With increasing desperation, Hannah’s journey becomes an outright fight for survival against insurmountable odds. As the terror of her hopelessness overwhelms her, Hannah needs to conquer her own demons and marshal an unfamiliar self-belief and inner strength to confront her greatest nemesis.
Her own life now depends on it!
