A forgotten Scottish town's isolation is shattered when the restless dead begin to stir. The remote village of Auchenmullan, shrouded in perpetual gloom and economic decay, clings to existence with only forty-seven residents remaining. Their bleak reality is dominated by the looming presence of a mountain and a solitary grave marked with the chilling inscription 'Maggie Wall Buried Here As A Witch.' However, the dead, particularly those with unfinished business, do not always remain at rest, threatening to unleash ancient horrors upon the living.

The premise sets up a classic horror narrative rooted in local folklore and supernatural disturbances. The isolated, gloomy setting of Auchenmullan suggests a story that will build atmospheric dread and suspense. The mention of a witch's grave and restless dead points towards a supernatural conflict where the past directly impacts the present. The limited number of remaining residents implies a claustrophobic environment where the threat can easily isolate and overwhelm the characters.
