"Hamelin has always had its secrets. The children taken. The songs whispered. The piper never truly gone."
1284, Hamelin, Germany
Dozens of children vanish into the mountains, lured by the hypnotic melody of a mysterious piper, never to be seen again.
1978.
Centuries later, thirty of those lost children return - silent, changed, and haunted by a strange and terrifying power.
Now, decades after their reappearance, nurse Erika Kramer begins work at the Koppenberg Klinik, and uncovers a chilling link to the ancient legend of the Pied Piper. But the curse is far from over.
As the piper resurfaces, this time wielding the tools of a modern world, Erika must confront an unspeakable evil. The stakes are higher than ever, and she must risk everything to break the cycle before more children are lost forever.
