Things We Bury - Stripped

You tell yourself it's only paperwork. A signature here. A changed date there. Nothing worth losing sleep over. When a powerful funeral director offers you a promotion that could save your family from poverty, saying no feels impossible. But every favour draws you deeper into a world of disturbed graves, hidden secrets and questions that should never be asked of the dead. As Día de los Muertos approaches in Oaxaca, a series of increasingly disturbing assignments leads you towards a ritual buried beneath an old funeral home. In this haunting tale of guilt, greed and the things we can never truly bury, you'll learn that some ghosts don't need to haunt houses. They haunt consciences. Not for kids.
