Summary

When her father tragically drowned, his final wish was to have his ashes scattered in the river he loved. But when some were kept aside, she couldn’t shake the feeling he might be… unhappy. That night, her dog began growling at the door before heavy bootsteps—just like her father’s—marched toward her room. Later, in her new apartment, the strange sensations escalated—an oppressive presence, an unnerving dream where she couldn’t speak God’s name, and a sudden surge of rage that only holy water could break. Even her boyfriend felt the hostile energy, waking to something watching him that did not want him there. Was this her father, angry from beyond, or something darker drawn to the grief?
