In 1967, journalist Thomas Elwood travels to Dunlowe, West Virginia, to investigate the vanishing of four local children. But the village is trapped in time, absent of mirrors, clocks, or even electricity. Townsfolk whisper about the Hour of Offering. As he digs deeper, Thomas discovers newspaper clippings spanning a century of disappearances—each solstice, one child gone. When he tries to escape, the roads vanish, and he realizes the children weren’t forgotten. They were sacrificed. Now, it’s his name carved into the stone.

00:00They say there's no record of a place called Dunlow, no town, no children, no stone wall of names.
00:08But sometimes, on the winter solstice, people report strange lights in the mountains of West Virginia.
00:15A glow that pulses like firelight, echoes of laughter and chanting that vanish when approached.
00:22Some hikers go missing. A few return days later with no memory of where they've been.
00:30One man claimed to wake beside a carved stone with his daughter's name etched into it.
00:36She'd been dead ten years. I still dream of Dunlow.
00:40Sometimes I see the child I met, older now, taller, eyes like mine.
00:46Other nights, I see myself in the stone circle, arms raised as the villagers chant around me.
00:53But the worst dream is the one where I'm back in my apartment, writing this very sentence.
01:01And then I look up and see myself reading it from the other side of the mirror.
01:06And my reflection isn't smiling anymore.
01:09Sometimes I wonder, did I ever leave Dunlow?
01:13Or is the world that remembers me the one that isn't real?
01:17Dunlow.
01:17Dunlap & Dunlap & Dunlap.
