Apartment 2B is supposed to be a fresh start-a place where she can build a new life away from her troubled past. But on the very first night, fear tightens its grip when Lena hears a strange, rhythmic thumping coming from the walls. She tries to convince herself it's just the quirks of an old building, but the noise only grows louder and more relentless with each passing night.
Already on edge, Lena's unease turns to dread when she discovers a stack of dusty journals left behind by a previous tenant. The disturbing entries speak of sleepless nights, strange rituals, and a haunting legacy tied to the apartment itself. As Lena delves deeper, she realises that the secrets of Apartment block are entangled with her own past.
Her nightmares are only just beginning when she uncovers the tragic history of her family-a dark, twisted tale that she has unknowingly been part of all along. As the thumping grows more violent and the shadows close in, Lena must confront the horrifying truth: her bloodline is cursed, and the apartment wants her to carry on the sinister legacy.
Now, Lena must fight not only to save herself but to break the cycle of evil that has claimed so many before her. But with reality slipping and the thumping echoing in her mind, can she escape the darkness, or is she destined to become its next victim?
