Perched on a cliff battered by wind and memory, Hope’s End is a house built on secrets. In The Only One Left, a caregiver named Kit McDeere arrives to tend to Lenora Hope—a woman long accused of murdering her family decades earlier. Lenora, now mute and paralyzed, can only communicate by tapping letters on a typewriter. As she begins to dictate her version of events, Kit is drawn into a web of deceit, where truth and illusion twist together like the corridors of the decaying mansion.

Each keystroke echoes with accusation and confession, and the more Kit uncovers, the more she questions her own sanity. Storms rage outside as the cliffs crumble beneath the house, mirroring the collapse of every certainty she holds. What begins as a story of care becomes one of obsession, guilt, and the terrifying realization that some ghosts are very much alive.

A gothic mystery of memory and manipulation, The Only One Left captures the haunting tension between past and present—a chilling exploration of how the truth can destroy even the strongest foundations.
