Julia Barlow thought she had nowhere else to go.
She was wrong.
Julia has lost almost everything. Her job. Her apartment. Her sense of where her life is going.
So she heads to the sprawling Massachusetts estate that's been in her family for generations. She expects to care for her grandmother and figure out what comes next.
But Pemberton has its own plans.
Every night at 3:41 a.m., the grandfather clock stops. The lights flicker. And somewhere outside Julia's bedroom, a woman's voice cries for help.
What happened at Pemberton in 1692?
As Julia begins to investigate the strange events inside the estate, the house starts giving up pieces of its history.
Decades of secrets. Family lies. A story that was buried so deeply that everyone forgot to ask what really happened.
Then Julia discovers that the story began with a woman named Caroline.
The grandfather clock stops. The house goes quiet. And somewhere in the dark, someone is still asking to be heard.
Old pages. Old names. Old accusations. The story of Caroline begins where Pemberton's darkest secret was first written down.
In 1692, a woman named Caroline was executed for witchcraft. Her fate became part of Pemberton's dark history—and part of Julia's family history.
The house is only part of the story. Beyond Pemberton, the woods hold their own silence—and something seems to be moving through it.
