When young Axel becomes obsessed with the legend, he uncovers a series of unsettling truths that connect the ghostly figure to his own family's tragic past. As Axel delves deeper, he encounters strange allies and lurking dangers, challenging the boundaries between reality and nightmare. The story weaves horror and folklore, exploring themes of grief, identity, and the haunting nature of unspoken histories. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
