Ragged Darkness

In the isolated coastal town of Port Blossom, a reclusive artist, Eleanor Vance, becomes entangled in a decades-old mystery surrounding the disappearance of a local fisherman. As Eleanor delves deeper, she uncovers dark secrets about the town's history and its inhabitants, blurring the lines between reality and her own fragile perception. The investigation forces her to confront her own past trauma and the possibility that the truth is far more sinister than she imagined.
