But when ominous whispers of a forgotten past begin to stir, her academic pursuit morphs into a chilling nightmare.
Strange disappearances plague those drawn to the city's intoxicating beats, and as Larussa digs deeper, she uncovers a supernatural realm where music is not merely art-it is a conduit of life and death.
