The Forever Children

Journalist Melony Barnes arrives at the secluded Talonford Home for Gifted Children, drawn by whispers of its enigmatic reputation. Amid eerie students and reclusive caretakers, she senses something deeply sinister. As she delves into the mansion’s shadowy history, she discovers its grim secret: an ancient spring granting eternal youth, but at a horrifying cost. The children are centuries-old souls trapped in perpetually youthful bodies, their minds corrupted by years of moral decay. Those who overstay their allotted sips from the spring face a grotesque demise, leaving behind only ashes and whispers. Mel's investigation spirals into a nightmare when she uncovers evidence of murder and deceit aimed at protecting the spring's secret. Desperate to expose the truth, she becomes their next target. With the lines between ally and enemy blurred, Mel’s race to escape takes a horrifying turn when her tormentors use the spring’s power to steal her adulthood, leaving her trapped in a child’s body. Now a prisoner of their eternal cycle, Mel must find a way to reclaim her life -- or risk becoming another victim lost in time.
