The invitation

Years of psychotherapy have been necessary for Marla to process her past. The strange message that lured her to an abandoned maternity clinic. The figure that tried to kill her. The oddly whistling cough of the psychopath during a life-and-death struggle. She has learned: all of this are false memories. Marla suffers from prosopagnosia. Her brain plays tricks on her in extreme situations as it desperately tries to recognize people by their faces. When Marla receives an invitation to a class reunion in the Alps, she hopes to indulge in beautiful and genuine memories with her former classmates over an extended weekend. Upon her arrival at the snowy mountain hotel, all the rooms are already occupied. Used dishes are left on the dining table, the fireplace flickers, yet no one is there. Marla begins to search for the others. And then she hears it again. Someone is whistling while coughing, outside, in the icy darkness.
