The Thompsons - Jack, Claire, and their teenage kids, Poppy and Hugh - have just arrived in this "quaint" rural town for a fresh start. Jack's got a job lined up in the mine, and the family's hoping to settle into the friendly community. Everything seems perfectly normal... at first.

But Wittedoom has its quirks. Strange occurrences start cropping up, little things that make the Thompsons wonder if they've stepped into more than just a quiet mining town. Unexplained whispers at night, the oddly cheerful townsfolk who keep just a little too much to themselves, and figures that seem to watch from the shadows - it all begins to feel like the Thompsons are part of something bigger. And not in a good way.

As the family digs deeper (literally and figuratively), they uncover long-buried secrets in Wittedoom. It turns out, not everything in this prosperous town is what it seems. The further they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes. And let's just say, when the town's success is built on greed and ancient whispers, it's not long before the Thompsons are in over their heads.

Will they escape Wittedoom's dark grasp before it's too late? Or are they doomed to become just another whispered secret in this deceptively quiet town?
