A child's toy. A mother's nightmare. A house that no longer feels like a home.
☆★ STORY ★☆
When young Emmie returns from the woods clutching an old, tattered toy rabbit, her mother, Kaiya, brushes it off as an innocent find. But as darkness falls over their home, a creeping dread begins to take hold. Night after night, Kaiya is plagued by increasingly vivid nightmares, however, the line between dream and reality is starting to blur. Shadows twist in unnatural ways, whispers begin to circle in her mind, and something is watching.
Is it the work of a traumatized mind filled with grief, or is it a malevolent force from the Underworld clawing its way into their lives?
