Behind the brass gates of Orchard Grove, the manicured lawns and sprawling estates conceal a darkness that even the California sun can't bleach away.

For Elliot Gray, preservation has always meant holding the world at arm's length in this ruthless social ecosystem—a delicate dance of concealment, of desires pressed so tightly beneath the surface they might never breathe. But something is awakening, a metamorphosis beyond boundary or restraint.

With each nightfall, a creeping, watchful star draws closer, unearthing Orchard Grove's long-buried secrets and resurrecting the horrors of Elliot's tragic past. As the town's façade peels back, Elliot discovers a terrifying truth: the most dangerous transformation isn't the evil surrounding him but the raw, uncontainable force rising from within.

Blending the atmospheric dread of gothic horror with a profound philosophical exploration of identity, Strange Little Star is a metaphysical bildungsroman—a nightmarish journey where transformation becomes survival, and horror reveals itself as the ultimate act of self-creation.
