A retired painter's search for purpose leads to an unspeakable fate when the walls of an ancient house hungrily await their next coat.
Jimmy Hurley thought retirement would taste like freedom. Instead, it left him adrift in coastal Maine while his wife Karen thrived in their new life. Seeking to recapture the simple satisfaction of his trade, Jimmy begins taking small painting jobs—until a cryptic advertisement leads him to Blackwood Ridge Estate, a house that locals only speak of in whispers.
The decrepit mansion perches like a malignant growth on the ridge, more manifestation of decay than building. Its peeling façade and vacant window-eyes seem to watch Jimmy as he approaches. Inside waits Mrs. Gable, a frail woman with eyes like polished onyx and a voice dry as autumn leaves. The job seems simple: paint her study a deep, true blue—"like the ink of the abyss."
What happens when the painter becomes the medium? Listen to discover the chilling truth about what really dwells behind old walls, waiting for fresh vitality to sustain its unnatural existence. Some houses don't just consume your time—they consume you.
