Jared never thought of himself as the kind of person who would lose his mind. But when his best friend, Nick, starts unraveling after the tragic death of his wife, Jared finds himself drawn into a terrifying mystery-one that teeters on the edge of supernatural horror and psychological madness.
Nick claims Evelyn is still speaking to him. He hears her voice, finds messages she couldn't have written, and insists she's trying to tell him something from beyond the grave. At first, Jared dismisses it as grief, but as strange occurrences pile up, he begins questioning his own reality. When the two uncover an ancient symbol buried beneath Nick's home, they unknowingly unleash something far worse than a restless spirit-something that has been waiting.
What follows is a slow descent into paranoia and horror. The whispers begin. The shadows move. And then the reflections stop behaving as they should. As Jared and Nick scramble to understand what they've released, the state government takes an unsettling interest in their investigation, covering up past incidents and erasing the records of those who tried to learn the truth before them. The two men must navigate a landscape of deception, supernatural terror, and their own crumbling sanity to seal what should never have been opened.
But when Jared starts seeing himself in places he's never been-smiling when he knows he isn't-he realizes too late that he has already let it in. The only question left is whether he can force it back before he disappears entirely.
