For thirty years, Room 9 has remained sealed.
No one speaks of what happened there.
No one asks what lies behind its door.
Then, on a night of violent storms, a forgotten portrait begins to bleed.
Detective Adrian Locke is summoned to Oakhaven, a lonely estate where old friendships hide darker truths and every guest seems to be carrying a secret.
But the portrait is only the beginning.
Strange clues begin appearing.
Old memories return.
And the people who know the truth are becoming increasingly afraid.
As the storm cuts Oakhaven off from the outside world, Adrian realizes that whatever happened thirty years ago was never truly forgotten.
It was waiting.
Waiting for someone to uncover it.
Waiting for someone to open the door.
And perhaps most terrifying of all-
Someone inside Oakhaven will do anything to make sure the truth never comes out.
Some mysteries are meant to be solved.
Some secrets are meant to remain buried.
And some doors should never be opened.
