Aurora Jenson is a newly divorced woman who has moved to Fairhaven for a fresh start, even if she isn't sure what "herself" looks like underneath everything she was raised to be. She's inherited her grandfather's creaking, abandoned house at the edge of town. Keeping her head down is something she's used to, keeping her routine strict, and her past locked behind careful, polite smiles.

And it may not be enough to keep the world from pressing in.

Fairhaven has its own uneasy habits: people vanish, conversations hush, and she senses that the local butcher has an eerie connection to the missing people.

There are rumors about you, of course there are. A woman in a man's job, someone who doesn't align with the town's expectations, and too independent. Aurora finds herself returning monthly anyway.

Leaving was supposed to help her.

Not lead her somewhere worse.

Two and a half months after moving here, she's still adjusting to life. And today she's visiting the local butcher shop again as per usual for the pickup order she placed in advance.

As she waits awkwardly, Aurora can't stop thinking about the missing people, the rumors surrounding you before a weird sound puts her on anxious alert. Dread creeps in as she apologizes and reconsiders the timing of her visit.

Perhaps she had arrived too early today...
