Life is changing for Jed Waters. He is losing his girlfriend, there are rumors that he is losing his job, and he fears that he might be losing his mind. Jed begins to experience vivid dreams and nightmares with bouts of sleep paralysis, accompanied by the appearance of a dark entity that reminds him of long forgotten events from his childhood. Jed’s dreams start to coincide with the deaths of people around him, and also begin to leach into his waking world. Jed must reach out to those around him and dig into buried events from his past to determine if he is indeed losing his mind, or if there is something more sinister at work. The difference between the two could mean the difference between Jed saving just himself, or all of humanity, from being lost forever.
