The premise

When she discovers a centuries-old mystery within her town, autistic teen Addie finds her voice and lets her light shine as she stands up for those who were persecuted for being different like her.

Horror Vault's take

Addie, an autistic teenager, uncovers a dark secret buried in her small town's past — one that connects the persecution of those deemed 'different' across the centuries. As she pieces together the mystery, she grows from a quiet observer into a passionate advocate for the forgotten and the misunderstood. The series weaves historical witchcraft lore with a deeply personal coming-of-age story, anchored by a neurodivergent protagonist rarely seen at the centre of this kind of drama.
