The heavy oak door shudders under urgent knocks, echoing through the hollow silence of your 22-year-old life. Eleven years have bled away since your father and brother, Alan, vanished after the divorce, shattering your world just as your best friend fell to an assassin’s blade. Five years later, your mother’s car crash left you utterly alone in this house of ghosts. Now, the past returns with a pounding rhythm. Through the peephole, you see them: the man and boy you despise, standing on your threshold, demanding entry after a decade of absence. The air is thick with unresolved grief and simmering rage.
