If Walls Could Lie

A vanished mother, hidden diaries in the walls, and a twisted ‘father’ who refuses to let go—some doors were never meant to be unlocked. In the idyllic cul-de-sac of Oakwood Heights, Marisa Davis believes she’s finally found the stability she craves—a cozy house on a tree-lined street, a devoted husband who reassures her that everything is fine. Yet something about this perfect neighborhood sets her on edge. At night, she swears she hears footsteps outside her bedroom window. One neighbor seems too friendly. Another’s expression is always veiled in quiet suspicion. And no matter how often she asks her husband for answers, he dodges her questions about the peculiar history of their house. When Marisa unearths a disturbing old family photograph hidden beneath a loose floorboard, she can’t shake the feeling that the walls themselves are whispering secrets—secrets tied to the house’s former occupants and, inexplicably, to her own forgotten past. As her world narrows, Marisa feels trapped in a maze of half-truths and silent tensions. Paranoia swells with every hushed conversation and every carefully curated lie from her husband. Even her closest friend starts acting cagey, hinting at truths that no one will openly admit. Soon, Marisa is sleepless and on edge, questioning her own memory and senses. Is she being gaslit—manipulated into believing she’s unstable—or is there a genuine threat lurking in these walls? Each new piece of evidence deepens a long-buried mystery, and Marisa finds herself at the center of a domestic nightmare that unravels everything she thought she knew. By the time she unearths the final clue, no one can be trusted—not even herself. The house stands as a silent witness to the lies woven inside its walls, harboring a dark revelation that could shatter more than just her sense of security. Because if walls could lie, then maybe the person lying beside her every night can do far worse.
