Synopsis
In St. Bryson College, a new academic year begins with the arrival of its yearbook committee—an ordinary team assigned a simple task: capture memories. But when aspiring documentarian Nora Adeyemi discovers an unnamed student’s photograph sealed inside the archive from ten years ago—with no records, no student file, and no graduating number—she realizes one person from that year never officially existed. Driven by a quiet obsession with forgotten people, Nora digs deeper. Former teachers deny recollection. Classmates offer conflicting memories. The principal insists the student was “a misunderstanding.” Yet every witness seems afraid—not of speaking, but of remembering. Rumors unravel into patterns: a scholarship winner who suddenly “transferred,” a dorm room plastered over, and a series of candid photos where the mysterious student appears only in reflections, never directly. The more Nora investigates, the more she senses she is being watched—not by a person, but by a narrative someone wants erased. When Nora uncovers the last handwritten annotation in the yearbook—“Some students are meant to disappear”—she realizes the student might not have been missing at all. They may have been erased while still alive, and the yearbook was the only witness. What Nora doesn’t know is that by opening the archive, she has already stepped into the same story. The unseen student may not be gone. They may simply be looking for someone to replace them. As the next printing approaches, pages begin to change, faces shift, and a new blank space appears—exactly where Nora’s portrait should be. The yearbook is ready to choose its next forgotten name.

This went on for several years, in anger a small family residing in the outskirts of the land cast a spell which led to their freedom from the famine but in exchange all souls in Mighdad where sacrificed.

The yearbook isn't just any notebook, it is an all encompassing record of sacrifice done to keep the eternal survival of the remote family of Mighdad anybody in the book is termed and deemed dead. The book was originally sent from heaven by god to record the falling Isrealites in the wilderness for the purpose of memorials but was snatched from Aaron and never seen again.
