When eight inseparable teens from New York set off on one last road trip before college, the jungle wasn’t supposed to be the final destination. But a wrong turn—and a strange, celestial storm—leads them to a city that doesn’t exist on any map.

Keitha is a place of untamed magic, ancient technology, and secrets buried beneath centuries of silence. The city doesn’t just exist—it watches, tests, and chooses. Each teen begins to unravel new abilities linked to Keitha’s core, but with every trial they face, they’re pulled deeper into the city’s haunting past and a prophecy that was waiting for their arrival.

As bonds are tested, truths are exposed, and betrayal strikes from within, the group must confront a terrifying decision: return to the world they knew—or stay and protect a city that was never meant to be found.

And Keitha?
She always takes her price.

🔮 ACT 2: Trials, Truth, and Power (Chapters 7–17)


Theme: Transformation, Temptation & Betrayal


Tone: Intense, surreal, shadowy—like dream logic meets danger.


🌌 The squad is tested. Each of them is pulled into personal trials where their fears, regrets, and desires mess with their powers—and with each other. They discover parts of the city that defy logic: memory temples, time loops, creatures that feed on emotion. Tension builds. Secrets are uncovered (some about Keitha, some about them). Trust is tested. A betrayal from one of their own shakes the group. And finally, they learn that Keitha is alive—and choosing who gets to leave.


🔑 This act is the dark heart of the story. Character growth, inner conflict, group dynamics shifting, and the magical world turning hostile.
