Synopsis: Deaths and disappearances pile up as a mysterious beast stalks the French countryside and two girls seize an unlikely opportunity that just might save them all—or serve them up on a platter.Step into this chilling, historical horror inspired by the unsolved mystery of the Beast of Gévaudan.When a series of brutal, mysterious deaths start plaguing the countryside and whispers of a beast in the mountains reach the quiet French hamlet of Mende, most people believe it&’s a curse—God&’s punishment for their sins. But to sixteen-year-old Joséphine and her best friend, Clara, the beast isn&’t a curse. It&’s an opportunity. For years, the girls of Mende have been living in a nightmare—fathers who drink, brothers who punch, homes that feel like prisons—and this is a chance to get them out.Using the creature&’s attacks as cover, Joséphine and Clara set out to fake their friends&’ deaths and hide them away until it&’s safe to run. But escape is harder than they thought. If they can&’t brave a harsh winter with little food… If the villagers discover what they&’re doing… If the beast finds them first... Those fake deaths might just become real ones.
