The sea gives, and the sea takes. For months, Elara has kept a solitary vigil in her cliffside cottage, waiting for her husband's fishing boat to return from the treacherous waters. He is presumed lost, but she knows, deep in her bones, that he is not dead. Something else has happened.
Her proof comes at night. Not in the form of a ghost, but a gift—a single, perfect pearl left on her windowsill, damp with seawater. Then another. And another. As the offerings grow more frequent, so does the haunting presence outside her home: the sound of wet footsteps, the shadow of a figure by the water's edge, and a voice on the wind that calls her name with a lover's familiarity.
To get her husband back, Elara must venture into the tide and confront what has taken him. But some vows are not just till death do us part—they extend into the cold, possessive embrace of the deep.
ALTER presents the exclusive online premiere of a gothic, aquatic nightmare.
