In the remote outback of a small, tight-knit town, whispers spread about a strange sickness unlike anything seen before. Locals claim it begins with a voice: soft, motherly, and hauntingly sweet—singing the old tune “Daisy, Daisy". Those who hear it wander off, entranced, only to return…different. They come back smiling, their faces locked in an unnatural cheerfulness. They talk with a disturbing warmth, as though every word is meant to comfort, yet beneath their cheer lies a violent unpredictability, lashing out without warning. The townsfolk call it “The Daisy Virus,” but no one knows if it’s biological, psychological…or something older and darker. As paranoia spreads, a small group of survivors must uncover the truth: is this an infection born of science gone wrong, or are they being manipulated by something far more sinister that craves to mother and consume them all? Every day the chorus of “Daisy, Daisy” grows louder in the fields, threatening to drown the town in its eerie lullaby.
