And then, one night, dark forces start to make their presence more keenly felt, leading to a horrific discovery...

No-one ever remembers what happens to them when they go into the barn at Bondalen farm. Some never come out again, and the rest... Something about them is different.

Set over the course of several decades,
The Farm
