A young couple sneaks away for a night of freedom, escaping their parents’ watchful eyes for a drive into the countryside. Beneath the sweeping branches of an old willow, they find a place where no one will disturb them. But when the night takes a turn, one is left waiting alone in the dark—hearing a strange rhythm outside the car. At first it seems like nothing… then it grows louder, heavier, dragging across the roof in a way that makes her blood run cold. What she discovers when help finally arrives has haunted campfire stories for generations.
