In a house devoid of childhood laughter and soft footsteps, an antique baby monitor, long forgotten and gathering dust in the attic, flickers to life. It begins to broadcast a chillingly clear lullaby, hummed with a mournful, disembodied voice, emanating from the depths of the basement. For the unsuspecting residents, this is not a glitch, but an invitation into a nightmare they never knew existed. The melody, once a symbol of comfort and innocence, warps into a sinister siren song, drawing them closer to a darkness that has long lain dormant beneath their feet. As the humming intensifies and the lullaby weaves its spectral path through the house, the residents find themselves ensnared in a terrifying game of cat and mouse. The source of the melody remains elusive, but its presence is palpable, manifesting in unsettling occurrences and escalating dread. They must confront the chilling truth behind the spectral serenade before the lullaby claims them, transforming their home into a permanent sanctuary for the spectral entity that has awakened. This is a descent into a primal fear, where the most innocent of sounds becomes the harbinger of terror.
