Black River Orchard
Synopsis
In the autumn town of Harrow, an orchard of seven unusual trees begins bearing a strange, deeply red apple. Those who eat the fruit find themselves stronger, more confident, and consumed by a dark, growing hunger for more. As the entire community falls under the spell of the orchard's magic, a bloody history buried beneath the roots begins to claw its way to the surface.
