In Silverlake, the perfect town hides the darkest secrets.

When Ethan Blake moves to Silverlake, he expects a typical small-town life with new friends, awkward introductions, and the usual high school routine. But from his first day at Silverlake High, something feels off. The teachers repeat the same lessons word for word. His classmates' smiles seem forced, and the town itself feels too perfect, like a picture that doesn't quite fit the frame.

Then Ethan meets Lena Rivera, another student who suspects something is wrong. As Ethan digs deeper, he uncovers a chilling truth: the town isn't just hiding secrets, it's hiding them.

Caught in a web of deception and control, Ethan must confront the reality of who he is and what Silverlake is doing to everyone who calls it home. But in a town where even your memories can't be trusted, escaping might be the hardest part.

In Silverlake, the mind is the most dangerous weapon of all.
