Spoilers ahead
As the curtain falls on 1940, the sleepy town of Friar stirs from its collective slumber, ignited by an inexplicable passion for the cinematic masterpiece - The Wizard of Oz. Much like Dorothy’s house swept up by a tornado, the entire population of 572 mysteriously vanishes into the expansive wilderness, leaving only their abandoned clothing and the lingering echoes of an unsettling mystery. The grim find of merely 300 recovered bodies, some forever frozen in time while others are shockingly slaughtered, stands as a somber reminder of the town’s enigmatic fate. The destinies of the remaining 272 individuals remain buried in secrecy, as the government classifies the tragic series of events that led to this catastrophe.
