The Molok follows Micah, a young boy dealing with the grief of losing his father. When Micah's mother falls ill, he runs away, finding himself drawn to the wreckage of a fire-ravaged building. Inside an ancient creature has made its home, collecting and coveting the community's lost possessions, feeding off the memories they hold. The Molok makes Micah an offer: to rid him of all his painful memories. The cost? All of the good ones he has left.
