Elias Thorne returns to the isolated mountain town of Black Ridge after his sister’s mysterious disappearance. He finds a community that hasn’t aged a day in twenty years, living in the shadow of an ancient, bleeding forest. The townspeople claim the “Golden Sap” is a miracle cure, but as Elias digs deeper, he discovers the horrifying price of immortality. The trees aren’t just producing resin; they are consuming the town’s inhabitants, turning them into living, breathing statues of amber. Elias must solve the mystery of the “First Seed” before the forest claims him as its next vessel.
