Summary

An innocent autumn walk turns into a nightmare of supernatural terror. A lone traveler seeks solace in the misty hills of Surrey, expecting nothing more than a peaceful day of landscape exploration. Instead, he encounters three children who are far from ordinary—two exotic Indian girls and a golden-haired boy with an unsettling presence. What begins as a curious meeting spirals into a bone-chilling encounter that defies explanation. Strange music echoes through ancient woods. A snake moves with impossible precision. And suddenly, the traveler finds himself trapped, facing a ritual of unimaginable menace, where children hold powers beyond human comprehension. As darkness falls and reality blurs, one question remains: Who are these children, and what do they want? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
