Three shocking murders… Did she dream them? …or do them?
Film Synopsis
A teenage girl haunted by the memory of her mother’s murder is sent to a boarding school to recover, only to be plagued by terrifying visions and a sense of creeping madness. When she returns home, the nightmares intensify, and she begins to question what’s real and who she can trust. This chilling psychological thriller blends suspense, gaslighting, and gothic dread in a tale of buried trauma and unraveling sanity.
