Wherever We Are
Jake Morris is a paranormal podcaster on a hot streak. His show has just hit a million subscribers, and his wife Maya, a Gullah Geechee rootworker and spiritual healer, runs a thriving online practice from the same suburban Texas house. When Jake finds Bell Meadows Park, a location twenty minutes from home with seventeen paranormal reports and a buried history of three immigrant healers murdered there in 1886, he sees a story worth telling. Maya agrees to perform a livestreamed cleansing ritual to help the spirits move on. The ritual goes catastrophically wrong, and in the days that follow, something starts taking their lives apart from the inside. It doesn't want them dead. It wants them broken.
