Have you ever felt like you’re being watched? It’s as if someone is constantly breathing down your neck, just far enough away that when you turn around they are not within view. Drew and Siobhan know this feeling well. It all began when a bike ride led them to a chance encounter with an aged, mysterious house at the bottom of a hill. Their lives changed immensely when a text threat arrived and some unusual black birds started dropping by to torment them both. Little did Drew know, but his family had a strange connection to the house and he found himself drawn to it, as its image lingered in his subconscious. Siobhan was the best friend he always relied on and it soon emerged that his feelings for her were far more than just platonic. Could he break the spell conjured by the house and how would he cope with a death in the family? Time would definitely create more questions than answers.
