figure everything out, and one night, her wish is seemingly
granted.When Calla and Ramona stumble upon a mysterious farmhouse

decades. The land, which they call Amaranth, acts as a safe haven

they/them pronouns, and they feel instantly accepted.They don’t
have to worry about the future because at Amaranth, it will never
come?until one night when the clock strikes twelve.Now under a
literal ticking clock, the housemates must find a way to stop time
again or face going back to their harsh realities, but as Cal
learns everyone’s story, they begin to wonder what queer people
lose when their history is lost to time.
