FROM: Zero
When 21-year-old police officer David is suddenly trapped in the mysterious town of Fromville alongside his partner, his world is turned into a nightmare overnight. After witnessing his partner’s brutal death and barely surviving his first night against the town’s smiling monsters, David finds himself stuck in a horrifying time loop. Every time he dies, he wakes up again on the same morning, forced to relive the nightmare while trying to protect the people around him.
As he struggles to survive, David forms a deep bond with Donna, another survivor who lost her sister on the same night they arrived. Together, they navigate the town’s deadly rules, uncover dangerous secrets hidden in the woods, and eventually they build a home that offers a fragile chance at safety.
But even as they build a life together, David must constantly adapt to new horrors — the smiley creatures at night are not the only monsters waiting in the dark. With each reset, he grows more desperate to break the cycle, protect his growing family, and find a way to endure the nightmare that has become their new reality.
