Investigative journalist Evie Ross arrives in Ashwood, a fading Midwestern town with a long history of disappearances, unexplained events, and stories locals still hesitate to tell.
Factories have closed. Storefronts sit empty. But beneath the quiet surface, Ashwood carries a reputation that stretches back decades, like missing children, institutions that shut down overnight, and traditions that continue long after the reasons for them have disappeared.
Most people outside the county have never heard of Ashwood.
But the deeper Evie looks into the town’s past, the clearer it becomes that something about this place has never been fully explained.
This is Absentia.
Where Silence Becomes Evidence.
