Synopsis

Ada Kemp is plagued by nightmares after the mysterious disappearance of her daughter Stevie, whose presence feels both achingly near and impossibly distant. As reality blurs with dream and the boundaries of time and space begin to dissolve, Ada reaches out to Detective Elva Monroe for help. But when he arrives, it may already be too late—Ada is slipping into the Dark Place, where nothing can be trusted.
