Battling vivid, unsettling dreams that begin to encroach on her waking reality, Grace is forced to confront buried memories, suppressed trauma, and unsettling truths about her life.

Plot Overview:

Grace’s life, once stable and happy, is disrupted by recurring nightmares that grow progressively darker. These dreams aren’t just disturbing; they feel real, almost as if they are trying to tell her something. As the dreams begin to bleed into her daily life, Grace starts to lose her grip on reality, unsure of what is real and what is imagined. With each passing day, her sense of unease grows, and she begins to question everything—from her closest relationships to her own mental stability.

As Grace unearths repressed memories, it becomes clear that the nightmares are linked to past trauma she has long buried. The more she uncovers, the more she realizes that her life is built on secrets. What started as disturbing dreams soon becomes a haunting journey to uncover the truth about her past and the people around her.
