What Happened to Erin?

by Mbali Mgoqi

Six childhood friends enter the woods, but only five come out. The disappearance of Erin Lockwood is shrouded in mystery and casts a dark pall over the once-safe small town of Braidwood.

The group is forced to reunite after one of them vanishes without a trace in the same place that Erin was lost: in the woods. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a summons.
