## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Nordic cedar forest, high summer. A child’s voice calls through the trees—then silence.

Four summer friends find secrets in a shared glow: tiny lights they bend with unchildlike will. Games in the playground turn to hushed midnight tests when the glow lingers too long.

A Norwegian chiller where every wish weighs more than a child’s hand.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, dread, slow-burn
