Alone in a creaking countryside home during the height of the First World War, a young woman spends her nights terrified for her husband fighting overseas in the trenches of France. So when she hears someone unlocking the front door late one stormy night and heavy boots climbing the stairs, fear quickly gives way to overwhelming relief: her husband Paul has somehow returned home alive. But as the days pass, subtle details about his behavior begin to feel deeply wrong. He refuses food, scarcely sleeps, and spends long hours handling strange military correspondence from the local post office—letters that were never meant to be delivered. When his wife discovers one addressed to herself, she uncovers a horrifying truth about the men returning from the war and the growing presence spreading quietly through the village under cover of grief, routine, and familiar faces.
