The past doesn't just haunt you-it waits for you.
In the art capital of Angono, a phantom street named El Pasado appears only during the first quarter moon. When Diego, a gifted but lost artist, follows a shimmering trail into this 18th-century trap, he discovers a gallery housing a portrait that is hauntingly alive.
As the moon wanes, the street begins to dissolve, threatening to erase Diego and his childhood friend, Claire, from existence. But they aren't alone in this trial. Claire's grandfather, the mystic Lolo Severino, has orchestrated this supernatural gauntlet to force a truth to the surface.
To survive the Ink-Wraith and the portrait's curse, Claire must confront her most dangerous secret: her hidden love for the man she is trying to save. In a race against the lunar cycle, they must decide if they are the masters of their own destiny, or just characters in an ancient, oil-painted tragedy.
