When siblings Della and Jr. travel to a remote Appalachian town to visit their grandparents, they find themselves swept into the search for their cousin's missing best friend. But as whispers of an old Cherokee legend resurface—one that warns against whistling in the woods—they begin to question what's real and what’s folklore. A haunting discovery in the forest unravels a chain of events that leads them to confront something ancient, unseen, and possibly imagined. In The Whistler, truth and legend blur in the shadows, and the forest remembers everything.
