When the curtains fall and the audience leaves, what remains behind the velvet drapes?

After a long day helping with stage production, a young girl lingers in the theater’s costume room, enchanted by the elegance of the lead actress’s gown—the role she longed for but never earned. As she gently lifts the costume from its hanger, an unseen force tugs back. In a sudden struggle, she’s pulled through the fabric and into a forgotten, otherworldly theater—abandoned, yet somehow alive.

Now dressed as the star she never was, she’s greeted by a haunting figure known only as the Puppet Master. He promises her the spotlight… but only if she helps recover his missing marionettes and takes her place as the leading role on his eternal stage.

Will she give in to the dream she’s always wanted—or uncover the truth behind the Puppet Master’s twisted production and escape the strings that bind her?
