The Liar Among Us

At Valorhouse International, an elite boarding school shrouded in the mist-drenched hills of Sikkim, secrets don’t stay buried. They fester.

A boy goes missing. And when a chilling confession crackles through the school’s underground radio-a witness swears they saw the missing boy return the night he vanished-the campus erupts in paranoia. Was it a hoax? A ghost story? Or something far more dangerous?

For Angad Sandhu, a freshman hungry for recognition, this is his chance to resurrect the forgotten radio club and uncover the truth. But as he and a ragtag crew of outcasts peel back the lies, they awaken something dark, hungry and vengeful.

Strange whispers echo in empty halls. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Students start vanishing-first in secret, then in plain sight.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: Valorhouse doesn’t want its secrets found. And if Angad isn’t careful, he’ll be the next to disappear.

The truth is out there. But will it kill them first?
