Having narrowly escaped the island's horrors and the malevolent grip of ancient entities, Dr. Aris Thorne and the few remaining survivors believed their nightmare had ended at St. Jude's Asylum. They were tragically mistaken. The darkness they fought on the Obsidian Shore has followed, a chilling extension of its influence now tethered to Aris's own brother, Liam, who has become a terrifying vessel. Now fugitives, hunted by a clandestine government agency that fears they are carriers of a supernatural contagion, Aris and her fractured group are on the run. Their desperate search for answers and refuge leads them to 'Blackwood,' a forgotten research facility where the true architect of the demonic invasion has been orchestrating events from the shadows, weaponizing the very entities that plagued them. Aris, now reluctantly allied with a disgraced former FBI agent haunted by a past serial killer case, finds herself in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. The lines between supernatural terror and human depravity blur as they uncover that the entities were deliberately unleashed by a human mastermind whose methods mirror the demonic manifestations. Aris must not only battle escalating supernatural threats and the chilling conspiracy but also her own trauma and the devastating possibility that Liam, her brother, is becoming an unwilling, powerful conduit for the enemy. As deciphered journal entries hint at a prophecy of a 'gatekeeper' who can control the pathways between realms, Aris faces an impossible choice: can she save Liam, or must she sacrifice him to prevent a global invasion orchestrated by a human hand, a horror far more calculated and terrifying than she ever imagined?
